anyone tell me which company's have the most complete range for WW2 Italians either 6mm, 10/12mm,15mm sizes and which are compatible with each other. TIA |

For 6mm, probably GHQ. link |

15mm Probly BF or Peter Pig I have both the Piggies are nice sculpts but do not mix well with the BF
They would mix better with Skytrex who also have a good range. |

I am painting 15mm at the moment. I really like the BF / Flames of War troops. I think the range is full and the castings have great detail. As TT above says, you can use Skytrex vehicles or, at a push guns, with the BF castings but the soldiers look too different. The BF vehicle range is mroe extensive in any case, so it's not really woeth bothering. |

Battle Front leads, but the Peter Pig figs I find do mix with them nicely, at least for me. Eureka makes a good range of motorcycles as well. I am pleased to find the expanded variety of Battle Front vehicles in the past year. |

BF is supposed to be releasing Libyan colonial troops this year, which will be good for early war scenarios. My personal beef with BF/FoW's Italians is not the vehicles, which are great, but the look of the infantry particularly the Fucilieri. Nice figures but too neat and tidy for the desert in my opinion. |

Some Chicken,
I think that's fair comment about the smart appearance of those BF fucilieri. I have painted with a bit of variation in clothing to lessen that a bit.
