Italian Infantry
The Italian infantry are a mixed group of soldiers. Part of the fun of using the Italians is that each platoon has a different skill rating determined randomly. This forces the italian commander to adapt strategy on the fly as one of the platoons may be exceptionally strong or incredibly weak. The Italians have a few other special rules that make them unique.
The Italians are the only infantry that can move instead of shooting. This ability is called Avanti and can be used to assault an enemy position or move towards an objective faster. While their support weaponry is average, the randomness of their skill levels makes the italian infantry a lot of fun to play. Take out any machine guns with your own infantry support weapons as you charge, you can risk it all and hope all your forces make it, knowing full well that those that don’t will miss out on all the fun. This keeps your opponent out of assualt range too as they know that the italians are capible of hitting their infantry first.
