I'd like to make Chain of Command Points of entry for my WWII Italians. The POEs Two Fat Lardies sells have things like weapons, 55 gallon drums and jerry cans. I'm looking at things that would be appropriate for the Italian army. I have rifles, and I thought it might be possible to model a Brixia light mortar, and a crate of wine bottles would be nice. I thought about pasta, but have no idea how macaroni (for instance) was issued, large cloth bags, boxes, barrels, or what. Does anybody know? Ammunition boxes are also possible, though I don't know what color Italian boxes were. Any other suggestions for Italian things to include on a Point of Entry for Italians? Grelber |

Cardboard boxes for pasta and tin cans for tomato sauce. Strangely enough one would never tought food as something "appropriate" for British or German. As an Italian I find this attitude a little unpleasant. Fabrizio |

Why not a piece of Roman ruins ? |

Altefritz, a typical jump-off point for Brits might include someone brewing up/drinking tea. |

You could always make and mark up ration crates for the British or Canadians. Eric |

How about a set table with tablecloth? The FoW Company HQ was something similar. Rich |
