I still cry about the german paratroopers reduction in the 39 setup ;)

Post by: John D. on August 14, 2014, 10:48:05 AM: Yup - those were the good old days
Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: Darkman on August 15, 2014, 03:44:58 AM: +1 for bringing them back into the game :-)

I have to admit i didn't build them much.
Maybe 1-2 but i liked them.

Italy don't have that much resources anyways.

Allow the British Player also build motorized units = easy fix :)

Post by: John D. on August 15, 2014, 05:10:56 AM: Brits have them already - infantry can move with armor on 1:1 ratio during mech phase :)

Post by: John D. on August 15, 2014, 05:36:01 AM: Right good flavor - but such a horrible investment. Almost makes me want to buy them on that principle alone...

Post by: Darkman on November 29, 2014, 05:24:03 AM: Did an updated counter ever existed on this unit? If yes i would like to use it :)
Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: Mark on December 01, 2014, 09:19:14 AM: I'll create some counters for it. I really think the motorized infantry should be considered a part of the Italian armored units rather than a separate unit. The Italians were just not that motorized.

I am also thinking about putting some limitations around the 'New Roman Empire' build requirements. I am not sure the Italian only Greek conquest should apply to the New Roman Empire builds - perhaps only to the improved Italian morale bonus.

Post by: John D. on December 02, 2014, 06:22:40 AM: I'm a huge fan of Italian Motorized infantry.
I'm neutral on the Italian morale boost. I think it is fun. Not sure how much of a difference it makes. Italian income is more of a limiting factor usually...
Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: Mark on December 03, 2014, 02:39:14 AM: What was the cost and value of these units? Cost: 3,3 and combat value 3-4?

Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: Darkman on May 20, 2015, 04:19:19 AM: Any News on this? (Counter?) :p ?
Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: Mark on May 20, 2015, 08:27:37 AM: We took them out of the game because the Italians were so woefully under-motorized, I felt like we were already making them too tough. I think motorized infantry should be considered part of the 'armored corps' unit the Italians can already build. . .

We could re-insert them - I think we made them sort of cost prohibitive at the time (like 3-3 motorized units that cost 3+3)
Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: John D. on May 20, 2015, 09:49:50 AM: Bring them back!
Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: Darkman on May 20, 2015, 08:48:01 PM: I rarely built them but i like options :-)
Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: Mark on May 21, 2015, 03:16:13 AM: OK - will make the change. . .will need to make the counters. . .

Title: Re: Italian motorized infantry
Post by: Mark on July 21, 2015, 10:14:03 AM: OK, counters created and added to the #6 Armor file on the dropbox
