Italian AT Gun Platoon (Plastic)
The light 47/32 gun is a small and mobile 47mm gun, allowing it to accompany infantry in the attack or be easily hidden in the defense. It is effective against enemy machine-guns and light tanks, knocking out these threats to the infantry it protects.
The Austrian-designed 47/32 M35 gun is relatively light for its calibre at 315kg (695 lb), making it quite mobile for a heavy crew-served weapon. Its 2.37kg (5.23 lb) explosive shells are quite effective at knocking out enemy machine-gun nests, while its armor-piercing and HEAT rounds are deadly against light tanks.
Bersaglieri Rifle Platoon
The rifle companies sent to Tunisia retained the standard organization of three platoons armed with bolt-action Carcano rifles and Breda M30 light machine-guns. This suited the mountainous terrain where tanks were less of a threat, and the light-weight Italian support weapons came into their own.
Bersaglieri Weapons Platoon
After taking heavy casualties in the siege of Tobruk, infantry units in Africa were reorganized to have 'fewer men, more weapons'. The heavy weapons companies were disbanded and their weapons split up amongst the infantry companies to create all-arms strongpoints capable of tackling both tanks and infantry.
Bersaglieri MG & Mortar Platoons
The Breda M37 heavy machinegun and the light Brexia M35 assault mortar were used to give fire power to infantry, providing covering fire and intense bombardment to infantry assaults.
Bersaglieri Assault Engineer Platoon
The assault engineers led the attack wherever the Royal Army needed to break through a fortified position. Equipped with everything they needed, from flame-throwers to demolition charges, machineguns to rapid-fire light mortars, the engineers were almost unstoppable in a close assault on an enemy defensive position.
Avanti Gaming Aids
Even though they are toy soldiers, your troops react to heavy fire like real soldiers. Sometimes they get pinned down or bail out of their tanks. They can dig foxholes for protection or go to ground, hiding from the enemy. Tokens help you keep track of the state of your troops and themed dice will decide the course of the game.
