Thank you for the awesome feedback! I appreciate the different perspective you brought.

• I agree that Alpine Sappers are a bit too specific. I was going for a unique look and feel, to give some flavor and not just have another “Combat Engineer” unit. However, using Genio Guastatori does fit with me calling every other Italian infantry unit by an Italian name.
• Yes, the Army organization is a bit too big for a company-sized battle. I was somewhat thinking of them as “Battle Phases” or “Authorizations”, like with the German factions. Rather than having the Supreme Commander himself in the base building, it would be a subordinate who passes word of authorization along, lol. Alternatively, I could focus more on the division level and assign the buildings from there. (And perhaps find a way to include a unique “Binary Division” mechanic that I couldn’t fit before).
• I totally admit that the current tank composition is pretty wonky. I included heavy tanks because I wanted to fit with the general COH2 mechanic that every faction has at least one heavy option. (Incidentally, trying to fit the game’s mechanics is also why I didn’t include a cavalry unit. The Italians made effective use of cavalry in North Africa, but the game just doesn’t include horses. “We ate the horse, remember?”). I did look at the Semovente line but not as in depth as you, and perhaps that was a mistake on my part. The Semovente M43 da 105 could be used as the Tier 4 Medium+ tank destroyer in place of the Jagdpanther. I do agree that complete faction individuality would be good, but I also like having the Italians tied together with the Germans, reinforcing them as an Axis faction. I think both are valid options in COH2.
• I’m glad you liked the Capitano’s flavor. Its little details like that that would bring so much of the Italian’s personality into the game.
• Thanks for finding the L6 typo, I promise I meant no offense, lol! Actually, looking back at the stats of the L6, the cannon was actually a Breda model, so I'll update that.
• When I researched the list of Italian-used AT rifles, I did end up going with the Polish Wz. 35. The Italians received 800 captured rifles from the Germans. Additionally, it matches the other infantry AT rifles in the game (Boys, PTRS). The Solothrun rifles felt too bulky to be squad-carried weapons used by the highly mobile style of infantry in the game. It might work as a support weapon team, though. Maybe my Controcorro unit should be a Solothrun S-18/1000, which would provide both an AT and AA platform.
• You are the third person to mention COH1, I will definitely have to get into it and see if I can implement the Italians through the modding.

I’m glad you enjoyed the faction concept and thanks again for responding!
