Italian Motorised Division
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 1:55 pm
Ciao! UOC is very, very innovative and i find a good mix of fun and serious wargame.
I am italian and an old history and wargames lover, i always note that for the italian army the very sense of " motorised " expecially during Russian campaign is misunderstood.
The italian motorised divisions are " autotrasportabili " that is " if you add them truck -tracktors and so on it became motorised".
The Italian 8 Army in Russia never had the possibility to consider motorized a single division, also the PADA Celere division is only 50% motorised at best. all Italian HQ had special unit of truck to move selected unit and than shift them to another unit.
I think it is possible to consider all the italian division " infantry" with the specialist step " motorised".
Ciao !
