Italian Army Support Group

Italian Army Support Group

The Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army), one of the largest land forces of the war, was hardened by its experiences in Albania, Ethiopia, and the Spanish Civil War before its entry into World War II.

The Italian Army employed a wide range of weapons from various manufacturers. Its most successful and widely used machine gun was the air-cooled Breda M37 8mm, whose good reputation led to its use by the British SAS after capture.

Like many other nations, the Italian Army also utilized mortars such as the Mortaio da 81/14 Modello 35, which was almost identical to the United States' 81mm mortar.

The box contains the following metal miniatures, which can be used as Italian Army or Blackshirt troops:
