I note there is a distinct lack of Italians in Weird War 2 lines. Such a shame, so much untapped potential. Am I missing something?

For inspiration:

Perhaps they could be well equipped and trained with confidence in their officers? That would be pretty weird.

Company B is supposed to come out with an Italian walker (28MM) from Gear Krieg eventually.

How about this?

Gear Krieg has some stuff for the Eye-ties… but it's really a modified Semovente 47/32 (with a walker "transmission").

Nothing really spectacular, which is a real shame.

Well, my image showed up last night when I entered it, but now it is gone. I'll try again with a link…

Reason I started this discussion was I've been kitbashing Sci-Fi Italians, as I had a FoW Bersaglieri company and friends in the box and wanted to build a 15mm scifi force on the cheap. Space Nazis & Allies abound, but no Italians.

Here's what I've done, for what it's worth. Perhaps I can cause a grass-roots surge in…lol who am I kidding.

TGerritsen: LOL I've been waiting with baited breath this whole time wondering what awesome WWW2 Italian thing existed…I'm sorely tempted to sculpt them up in feathered pith helmets, perhaps with a Yoshi to ride around on.

You'd certainly turn heads at the gaming table!
