How would you describe each Combat Mission in few words?

Oh yeah the winter snow would be neat.  I Forgot about that so another reason.

The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semovente_90/53Rocketman. 90mm gun is a Sherman killer. O'course, it's an egshell armed with a sledgehammer, but it's a very big hammer... It's also pretty small, and relatively easy to hide.

Edit: Note, I'm sure the Germans have better gear once you're into GL content on the mainland, but in Sicily, the 90/53 is to be compared with the US T30 half-track TD and its own little brother the Semovente 47/32 (which is execrable rubbish, and loses fights with HMGs...). Still the 90/53 is the only gun in Sicily that matches up to Tiger armour, that's not German...

That's a mean looking TD - don't think I have ever seen one. Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that.

Oh, I forgot before, but the thing only has like 9AP rounds and 3HE... Played a game with 2 of them and they did great execution on Shermans and M3s (and their variants) alike. Being high velocity, those 24 rounds went, for the most part, where they were meant to. Vulnerable wee beasties, though; don't stick around for the inevitable mortar-based response.

IRL, each 90 had an ammo tender with more shots. Your opponent would have to be very slapdash, not to mention well-supplied with armoured vehicles for you to get the opportunity to use more than 9AP per unit though.
