Description
Mortar 81' 27th Infantry Regiment from the 17th Infantry Division. "Pavia"
Historical uniform by me.
Italian army helmet by Halftrack animated by BurtonDrummerNY.
exciting to see these units'
Oh wow, even though your work is great, I think this might convince me to actually download this. Will there be variants for each of the Werhmacht's units?
No there will be no variants, since im creating 2 Armies with 1 doctrine each (Afrika korps/8th Army) instead of the regular 3 doctrines per factions, i wanted something radicaly different, i will not have variants, my goal here is to create a "chess board" with one unique corps for each players, give them the ability in multiplayers to access to the same units but choosing their own tactics depending of their army unique capabilities and what they need on field, if in PvP the players want to go "full armor" they will have the possibility to gather a lot of armor or infantry or whatever, if the players decides to have a "mixed" tactic in game then it will be easier as well to one guy going full infantry and the other full armor etc...etc... i know some people loves having 3 doctrines per factions, but some of them are not used because a bit too weak compare to others, this time ALL players will have the same chess board with their unique army abilities and upgrades, the tactics will be essential to win not because your doctrine is just more powerful than others, thats my goal here, it has the advantage also to get some epic infantry/armor/arty battle as well ;)
I agree with you justfirfun1. are doing an excellent job.
I wonder if the Italians wore the M1934/39 Helmet in Africa. Did they?
Yes they did, its a historical add-on my friend ;) its accurate here the exact outfit of the 17th Pavia divisione 3.bp.blogspot.com. and here a WWII picture of them in Africa Digilander.libero.it
What I meant was this one:
En.wikipedia.org
Or was the Pith Helmet that they wear here a modification of it for use in Africa?
No theses 2 helmets are different, but they used both helmets in Africa, like actually the british and the germans.
Are there going to be carcano's and breda's small arms for Italians?
yes.
