Generale_Pasquini Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Hey guys, Not being much of a modder myself, I was wondering if anyone out there has or had any intentions to make some Italian mods... Most preferably MVSN (Blackshirts) which were separate from the Italian Army and which fought on the Eastern front alot too. (Sort of like SS, and Heer)... I know there is a "Blackshirt Legion" in there during the correct year so it would be nice if someone could make some mods for them. I don't know if anyone has figured out a way to do the whole trenchcoat thing but these were worn by italian troops of the ARMIR (italian army in russia). Also some white helmets etc etc... I could go on and on... Anyways if you are intersted i can give you all the information needed about the uniforms I would just like to see some made from our wonderfull mod community! Thanks!

Quintus Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Actually, I'll second that appeal for non-German Axis Mods. I can't mod for toffee but I'd love to see some of the other nations in the Axis get the same lovely modding treatment as their German Co-belligerants!

AndrewTF Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Got any pictures? Web links? I'd be willing to give it a try but I need source material. Only reason I did German mods first is I had the research stuff left over from CMBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Andrew, I just emailed you some Italian uniform drawings and a readme file explaining them. Hope they prove useful. MikeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Actually, talk about Italian mods, I've recently put a set of from-scratch CV-33/35 tankettes into the hands of Tom's Combat Mission, for the vehicle in the new 1.01 patch. An Italian yellow version, a winter white version, and a new Hungarian camou version. I'm really happy with them. I'm hoping to see them appear on Tom's site soon.

Generale_Pasquini Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 I'll try to scan some pictures from books i have of various MVSN units and uniforms, insignias etc etc... And I'll come up with some guide lines of what I would like to see (not to sound bossy )Some winter uniforms would be nice... By the way MikeT, can you email me those drawings I just want to compare them to what I have. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generale_Pasquini Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 I meant MikeyD Can you send me those drawings you have to compare them with mine, I'm always up for new info on Italian uniforms that I dont have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generale_Pasquini Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 Hello, Thanks for the pics Mike! I really appreciate you taking your time to send them out with explanations and all So, in return I sent you some scans of original photos of MVSN troops on the Eastern Front as well as some pictures of real uniforms from the Eastern front. Hopefully these help. Also... I have TONS of uniforms from the MVSN, and Colonial Fascist troops from the African Campaign, Ethiopia, Libya, etc etc. Just about any Italian campaign you can immagine. All with Insignias etc etc. So if you ever need to make a mod and want specific and accurate uniforms of any Fascist Organization... let me know. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generale_Pasquini Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 forgot to mention... lets not get confused with the Italian Army in ww2. I am talking only about MVSN troops which i would love to see modded better. The Army ones are just fine. My scanner isnt working too well so i sent only what was already on my hard drive but when i have time ill send MVSN rank insignias and all that good stuff...
