They kept running over his British forces relentlessly. When he can't beat something - he just removes it from the game... ;)

+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 :)

Brits have them already - infantry can move with armor on 1:1 ratio during mech phase :)

Right good flavor - but such a horrible investment. Almost makes me want to buy them on that principle alone...

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.

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...
