Italians for Tunisia (inc transport & armour)

Spent a few weeks painting up transport and armour for my battlegroup, so here it is virtually complete -

Anti-tank battery with Ready to Roll Fiat Dovunque trucks (it turned out the Italians portee`d their 47mm to prevent damage)

This should have been it, but I got so carried away converting figires and messing about; I have 30 painted figures left over :rolleyes:
So I`m going to build a recce unit with motorcycles and M/C combinations and field car and a reserve platoon attached to the HQ.

  2. Yes, well spotted :-)

    I have two games planned (though I doubt we`ll get a game in now before the New year). One sees the Italains pushing up the Karachoum vally during the Eilbotel Offensive (Jan `43). The second is the American attack on Sened Station in February.
