As long as the swedish voluntere force is there :D

The infantry menue is all messed up, would be cool to have icon pictures in the menue and get menue fixed.

Fun playing french though especially cause they got so much dynamite as foreign legion.....

Patch coming tomorrow, still very early days! Updates will come along with changelogs later.

The buy card for infantry is also switched - the Squad buy card (3 men) should be listed at the top when you buy squads, where as the individual specialized soldier icon (2 guys) should be listed second for purchasing individual and specialized infantry. I accidentally bought AT rifle in consecutive games just bc I was thrown off by the cards.

I'm not sure if GSM caused this re-order, but it was messing with my head when playing judska the other day!

- Carro Armato P 26/40: Medium tank to match the Sherman, armed with 75mm (source[en.wikipedia.org])

- Carro Armato P 43/P 43 bis: Heavy tank with either the same 75mm gun or the larger 90mm gun. Tank was never fully produced, however models were built. (source[it.wikipedia.org])

- Semovente da 149/40: Italian M-12/Hummel, armed with 149mm howitzer (source[en.wikipedia.org])

If you want to go with a defensive fort theme for the special pointers:

- Brixia Model 35 mortar: a small, very accurate/fast firing 45mm mortar. 2-3 for 2SP? (source[en.wikipedia.org])

- Mortaio da 210/8 D.S.: A 210mm fortress howitzer with a very slow rate of fire. 8SP? (source[en.wikipedia.org])

- Bersaglieri or Moschin Hill Parachutists: Elite Italian infantry units, could be equipped with the Breda M31 (Italian Hotchkiss mg), Lanciabombe Controcarro AT rifle grenades
(bersaglieri[en.wikipedia.org]) (parachutists[en.wikipedia.org])
(hotchkiss[en.wikipedia.org])
(rifle grenades[en.wikipedia.org])


A 7-8 special point tank destroyer: the Canadian 3.7" Vickers AA Ram tank.

In keeping up with the tank destroyer spirit of the commonwealth, this tank is packs a greater punch than a Tiger on a chassis more fragile than a Sherman. This 93mm behemoth mounted on a Ram Mk. I tank was proposed and prototyped but never made it to the battlefield.

Hello, Strat, really enjoy your mod, keep up the great work. I would like to propose some possible units for the Italian nation, as it is one of the less developed ones out there imo (also my favourite).
First off, seeing as the italians currently lack in armour, i think the addition of the P26/40 Carro Pesante would be helpful (possibly as a higher end ital tank, maybe replacing the imported pz4).
Some infantry also deserve mentioning, such as the "Folgore" paratrooper division, renown for its campaighning in Africa- http://deutsches-afrikakorps.blogspot.it/2011/04/italian-army-divisione-folgore.html . This force could be a good special unit, outfitted for anti tank combat (could also come with an at gun and replace some more generic at options there). In fact any italian colonial unit would be nice to see (dem hats- https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQiCjeVRKLlbNte85JlMv4VETTC5p-DxV97MliJryU4qBoLCrx4UQ), even as an officer for their already existant indigenous unit. (a cool idea would be to make a higher end sp call in- "The Duce's Ambition" or "Rome Rebuilt", that would consistt of colonial units from the north African campaign, both mechanised and infantry, akin to some german support call-ins Finland has)
Another possible addition to their roster need to be the Alpini regiments (they have great models in the greece at war mod). They could be a special unit on their own, or, even better, just replace the existing elite marksmen panzergren models (as Alpini are iconic, look awesome in dem hats, and are much more fitting to the marksmen role. Maybe they could even be a sniper unit or some sort, or replace the current one).
I also understand why the italian insta- exploding grenades are not in the mod, but it still would be nice to see them appear on a unit or two...

Would be great if the soviets had some more unique stuff like a penal batallion or a t-35

Grazie for your attention sir.

hmmm they are definately the least developed one.
Thanks for some ideas. RE folgore, not sure where i can fit them in. They could replace the Tank hunters. Though not sure if i want to change the ability of that unit, it fits in well right now as one of the more reliable italian SP. HMm if you have any ideas on what to replace and what they should have feel free.

Note that second link doesn't seem to work.

The problem with adding the P26/40 Carro Pesante is that I think Italy starts to play more and more like Germany and I'm not sure Italy needs to change their special points infantry.

Is it possible to have 20 mm guns more prominent for Italy? Turn them more into an inf killer faction without having all those snipers on the field.
