Italian Faction Proposal (Outline)

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).

Unlike you I deal in facts. Get rid of your damned Italian bias and think for a few seconds. Adding the Italian Army makes no fucking sense, when you can instead have real armies that fought like the Polish Army, Canadian Army, Serbian Army and etc.

None of those are cliches either since they're based on facts. For example, the Italians did cook a lot of pasta in the African theatre according to German officers, which used up a lot of water supply.

If the Italians even for one second cared about winning, they wouldn't have been spamming pasta in Africa.


For those of you also crying "racism!", please quote what I said that is considered racist. Did I bash Italians, their courage and valour, or lack thereof? Yes, but I stand by that since i'm criticising(Rightfully so) their combat ability, and the fact that we(Canada, the UK and the US) steamrolled them in Africa and in Europe.

The Italians don't deserve a spot in coh2 and I'll always maintain that stance.

I would argue that the italians would just be ostruppen plus german equipment. I'm not arguing that the italians didn't contribute to the war, I'm saying they might be redundant.
