Middle-Eastern conflicts

This is a good overview of the RSI aswell: http://www.targheitaliane.it/rsi/rsi2.html

This book has a good overview of the uniforms worn by the RSI (Pro-Nazi Italian forces) and the Pro-Allied forces Lots of color photos, color drawings of uniforms and some histories of the units http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1855328666/002-4444111-3010468

Cold War or Middle-East Wars would really be fun IMO :cool:

Hey AO! Are you the same AO from CDV? If you are, it's me... gbotto..

I have quite a few books on the subject If you wish, I can scan in some of the color drawings and email them you you

I would choose CMBB first due to the large amount of mods and the patches avaible CMBB and CMAK are both great games tho

Hello :cool: lol, 'Italian Stallion', i've been called that before have we met somewhere on another forum? - You have ranks correct for the Royal Army (blackshirt units used a diffrent system based on Roman ranks) Required ranks would be capitano / igs for a battalion (battaglione) and a tenente / igs for a company sized unit (compagnia) Some info on awards can be found at: http://home.earthlink.net/~rvanhoozer/medals.htm http://www.gwpda.org/medals/italmedl/italy.html Military Orders of Savoy were particulary important awards As for Comando Supremo, yeah its a great site but credit goes to the webmaster, Jim. I am merely a dedicated member cheers

Hello K98 Italian paratroops in NA are playable but sadly the RSI isn't Check this thread for some discussion on the paratroopers in NA http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=000683

"The German soldier amazed the world, the Italian soldier amazed the Germans" Rommel's quote was something along those lines, I'll try to find the exact text

Well said I have full respect for those who took to the hills and mountains to fight the Germans The only ones I have no respect for (and this applies to RSI aswell) are those who did war-crimes against their fellow Italians... Italy did have good SMG in form of Beretta 38 but you are correct, there was never enough to be very effective The lack of AT weapons was very disastrous for the soldiers (especially in Russia) [ December 15, 2003, 06:27 PM: Message edited by: Botto ]
