600 Point Italian Motociclisti List
The Italian motorcycle platoons (Motociclisti) were legendary during the war. Compared to the Bersaglieri they must take motorcycles. This gives them a lot of mobility and increases the platoon sizes by one for most units. They are also considered elite units which makes them very hardy in battle. Great mobility, hard to break, lots of weapons, the motociclisti are a very fun company to play. If you have a Bersaglieri company and want to try out the Motociclisti this is a good place to start.

This army will be a lot of fun to play. Your motorcycle troops can quickly deploy to objectives around the board while your support mortars use their smoke to keep enemy tanks on the move. When playing against an infantry force the AB41’s can spot ambushes. When attacking the self propelled guns can deal with large threats and dig out machineguns and other anti tank weapons.
While defending your self propelled guns will be able to deal with the enemy anti tank and your infantry will prepare to assault tanks that get too close. your mortars can deal with lighter armoured threats as well as your command anti tank rifle. The Cars are ideal for flanking any static guns your opponent might have as they are quick and can avoid being attacked since they are recon troops.
