If you have ANY detailed data about Chentauro in NA (42-43year Tunisia) (like 1-10 kilometer war maps) we very need you assitance.

@ Tsche

Unfortunately I do not have any maps you need. All the info I got from my book "stori dei mezzi corrazzati" (History of armored forces) by Benedetto Pafi (Director) published 1st edition 1976 by Fratelli Fabbri Editori, Milano It. (6 Volumes) (in Italian language)

they cite the following sources:

- Ufficio Documentazione Ministero della difesa

(documentation bureau of the ministry of defence)

- Ufficio Storico dell'Esercito

( office of the history of the armed forces)

All I got is a small map from the book

(I can not insert the map because I do not know how)

But:

I searched the internet for some further info about important data for your mod I found the following links:

http://www.esercito.difesa.it/default.asp

getting deeper into the site You will find info about historical equipment like:

http://www.esercito.difesa.it/root/equipaggiamenti/mez_storici.asp

http://www.esercito.difesa.it/root/equipaggiamenti/mez_sto_art.asp

where You can find info about arty like the 47 mm AT gun and italian armored vehicles

http://www.esercito.difesa.it/root/equipaggiamenti/mez_sto_art_ita_47_32.asp

It contains info like that.

Le operazioni in Africa Settentrionale El Alamein - Vol.III (ristampa)

(An english language version of this edition is also available the site sates.)

L’opera ripercorre la situazione politico- militare, i piani d’azione delle forze contrapposte nonché tutte le problematiche che contraddistinsero gli esiti delle battaglie condotte in Africa Settentrionale a cui seguì un momento decisivo per l’iniziativa strategica alleata.

Immagini della 2^ Guerra Mondiale la Campagna in Tunisia (1942-1943)

Il volume comprende oltre 300 immagini fotografiche inerenti alla Campagna combattuta in Tunisia dall’Esercito italiano fra il novembre 1942 ed il maggio 1943, suddivise in due tematiche di fondo, quelle operative e quelle logistico-ambientali. La raccolta del materiale iconografico è preceduta da una sintesi storica dei maggiori avvenimenti occorsi sul Fronte tunisino, considerato dalla dirigenza del tempo come l’avamposto della fortezza europa, la cui difesa rappresentava una chiave strategica per evitare la superiorità aerea e marittima degli Alleati.

Great work Tsche !

Thanks a lot to you and your wife for sharing the news about this very good looking italian mod you're creating. I'm very glad to know there'll be the possibility in the future to use Italian vehicles in the game.

By the way, this is starting to give me ideas about modding ToW2 too! :)

Centauro, on page 8 (with blueprints )we can't read size markers - image resolution to small. Do you scan this page (only 8th page) with maximal resolution and send link to Sneaksie?

Oh! I speak about 75mm gun manual.

Centauro, may be pdf compressing is problem? Can you send raw scan in 600 (or maximal) dpi in tiff or another fomat (without compression)? I think image in pdf no 600 dpi... If it no problem for you... Only page 8. We have some problem with build sharp projection for modelling. P-p-please :)

And another question - your time Europe? USA? We live in Moscow time.

To Sneaksie - я видимо что то не так говорю, я хочу попросить в максимальном разрешении необработанный скан 8-й страницы у Чинтауро, переведи плз понятнее. а?
