Hello to all...
After Anfield uploaded his italian units, I got inspired and decided to fiil some gaps in the Italian unit roster, useful if Italy is going to become a "main" and not a "minor" country in Pz Corps. Also I think it can give more options to the players wanting to try the Italian mods available here. So, here is a big unit pack of 44 icons for Italian forces, mostly infantry units, but also other classes of units are included. I tried to give icons a "variety", but also to give a "uniform" look, trying to make them blend as good as possible with the stock game icon style.
What is in the pack:
Alpini (mountain) Infantry - with big unit portrait.
Saharan Infantry 37 --> Switch to AS.37 Camionetta.
Saharan Infantry 42 --> Switch to AS.42 Sahariana.
Barge Trailer --> An auxiliary bridging unit?
Bersaglieri 39 - with big unit. Upgrades to -->
Bersaglieri 42 - with big unit also.
Bridge Engineers (bridging) --> switch to Bridge Eng (move).
Bridge Eng (alt): The regular "PzCorps" looking icon.
Bridge Trailer --> Another auxiliary bridge unit.
Camicie Nere (Black Shirts): Special Infantry
Cavalry
Italian Char B1
SE Italian Char B1
Engineers
Frogmen
Infantry 39 --> upgrades to
Infantry 43
Infantry HW - with big unit and AA mode.
Infantry HW (alt) and (alt2) --> Alternative versions.
SE Infantry HW - with big unit and AA mode
Parachutisti 39 --> upgrades to
Parachutisti 42
Parachutisti HW --> Switch to AA mode.
Also all the Para units have their matching SE variants.
Maiale manned torpedo.
What is coming soon:
Breda da 20/65 AA - At gun (Para)
Battaglioni M (Special HW Inf unit)
Moto GUzzi Alce 500 recon
Solothurn 20mm AT Rifle
Trattore Legero TL.37 in several variants.
Fiat 626 Truck in several variants.
Obice da 149/19 in Arty and AT modes.
AB.40 armored car with AB.40 Ferroviaria switch

Credits, for the units uploaded in this post and what is going to be posted soon:
Anfield: for giving the original idea, also used his reworked soldier figures, which are excelent!
Asuser: for some gorgeous icons that made it straight into the collection (Maiale, Frogmen), other were taken as a basis for new infantry units, and also provided "parts" that look very nice, for example the italian steel helmet, which became the standard issue to all units of this pack, and the Fiat 626 truck (which is left for the second part of this pack). All his icons show an unbelievable detail and are backed by a thorough research work.
McGuba: His superb icon for the Obice da 149/19 modello 37 was the basis for the reworked Aty/AT version.
Nikivdd: Provided the very good Italian Char B1
ThvN: Provided the incredibly detailed Breda da 20/65 gun in AA and AT modes
And many ideas taken from here and there, if someone recognizes his work, please let me know, I don't want to leave anyone unmentioned.
Comments, feedback is always welcome. I hope you like the units, and you find some good use for therm!
