This is pretty slick and I can actually see it working unlike most of the other wunderwaffe Axis factions that have popped up lately.

Also, if you're going to scrap the Panther, instead of replacing it with the Semovente 90/53, maybe do the Carro Armato P40?

I always liked the idea of an Italian-German army.
Reasons:
- Imagine a relation like in CoH 1 between Volks and Grens, only this time the Volks are Italians...
- Interesting unit chatter where Italians and Germans badmouth each other(like with the UKF's welsh, english, scots)
- Combination of a mainly italian army with some german groups justifies adding heavier german equippment where needed
- Italia is one of the bigger european countries, so... sales.
- I just want to see another one of Relic's slightly stereotypical, hollywood-esque, but immensley interesting takes on the nations of ww2. And Italy offers so much in the department of being a recognizeable nation, so it would be an army with a character.

on the official forums there was a better idea, sadly it sunk with the forum itself

Always wanted to see Italy implemented as a faction.

Only thing missing is a reference to the German 1st Parachute Division. Other than that it looks great!

Yes I remember it, and it wasn't half bad. But it's lost in the data mines forever.

+1 Slight tweaks in cost and it would be fine, imo panthers should be doctrinal, simlar to Ussr lack of mediumish-heavy faction tanks i would replace it with Marders, or stug IV's, just my two cents.

I appreciate the effort put into the idea, but I have to point out that besides the name, only two units in this faction are actually German. You might as well ditch the smoke and mirrors and just call it Italian Faction. Not to mention, the design is pretty much Ostheer 2.0
