My advice is scrap the Italian Army idea. I've always supported the idea of adding additional armies who actually fought in ww2, so the idea of adding the Italians is insanity.
To clarify further almost every battle the Italians fought in, the Italians lost or they won thanks to the Germans sending ridiculous amounts of troops, tanks and etc to bail the Italians out. I mean they lost to Ethiopia for christ sakes, and you want to make an army out of that?
I can't support an Italian Army who didn't fight in ww2 to be added to coh2. I do however support the Francais Armee or even an army consisting of British colonial troops(Canadian, Australian and New Zealand infantry, vehicles and etc).
Did you know that East African Campaign was primarily Italy VS British Empire? They had Matildas, tanks that gave problems also to the better equipped germans. Italian East Africa was cut off from Italy. No supplies.
The Italian army didn't fight in WW2 ... (???)
I'm not saying that French forces must not be represented in CoH2, but between Italy and France, i would choose Italy as first, then France.
Seriously, are you drunk/stoned?
