Italian Modification

[DeV]

The more skill the better both the mods..

This looks very interesting.

I do have to ask one thing: why not join forces with the Burning Sands mod, at least in terms of the weapon systems?

You BOTH need American, British, and Italian forces, vehicles, and weapons. A tank can be modelled and coded, and then it can be passed to each team to be skinned for its appropriate theatre.

Hmmm, we must launch some sort of modding coalition for Red Orchestra...
In which alle participant-mods have the right the ask for help from everyother modding team and the duty to help others.
It's also possible to exchange material within that coalition.

I think this would increase modding speed and make it more fair between those mods!

How about?

 

[Sir. Hoppum]

To be honest and set the record straight we have no interest in resource sharing with Campagna Italiana. No bad feelings. Good luck with your mod.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

lol

Does not really matter to us, It was an idea of individuals seperate to both mods. However I thought that was Dirty Rats decision to make?

 

[Sir. Hoppum]

Its been discussed with the senior developers and we're not interested. If its no matter to you then it shouldn't be a problem. We are still interested in possible resource sharing with the normandy mod.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Nope doesnt matter to us.

Good luck to you with that.

 

[Sir. Hoppum]

Same to you

I dont know, Italian campaigns would be boreing, surrendering isnt fun in a war game.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Thats the thing, now you get to open a fresh can of Italian whoop ass and show those Allies what would of happened if they had not surrendered.

Gota admit this looks pritty cool, me wants to play as British in a realistic WW2 game, god i cant wait for the Bren and Sten * drools *

 

[Rohrmoser]

Italian campaign would be very fun... Like defending Monte Cassino or Attacking.

Focus on the forces attacking the Italians, the Italians themselves could just be AI which are programmed to throw their weapons down and run away with their trousers down everytime the enemy advances

Also, when I'm in an Italian tank i want the original "one gear to go forwards and four in reverse"

... As Gen. Patton recalls the Italians as shitty rats with pizza's and canoli littered all over the place in a desperate attempt to lure the enemy ...

C'mon guys - keep the Italian-bashing to a minimum here. Yes, yes - the Italians were undertrained and underequipped, but many fought bravely.

From Colonel Hans Von Luck, who commanded one of Rommel's units in North Africa:

Some days later, Rommel's HQ informed me that I was to be sent an Italian armored reconnaisance battalion, the Nizza. At first, I was not very pleased, as I had no great opinion of Italian weapons or morale. They duly arrived, well spread out and apparently still at normal fighting strength... They were proud Piedmontese and Venetians. They wanted to show they knew how to fight.

"May our patrols go on reconnaisance with yours?" I was asked by the commander and his officers. "That would be the best way for us to learn."

I inspected their armored cars and weapons. "More sardine cans" said our men, who were standing around inquisitively. Indeed, the equipment didn't even approach the standard that we had had at the start of the Polish campaign. It was hopelessly inferior to the British Humberts and antitank guns. And yet, the Italians wanted to be sent into action at the front.

In the difficult weeks that followed, my feelings wavered between admiration and pity for these brave men, who despite heavy losses, didn't give up and so remained to the end, our good friends.

We have, without a doubt, often done our Italian allies an injustice. Frequently mocked by our men as "Spaghetti-eaters," they were regarded, on account of their combat performance, as more a burden than a help. We failed to consider that their weapons and armored cars were far from coresponding to the standard of those which we or our opponents employed in North Africa.

I'm in agreement here, no Italian bashing.

 

[Jono]

I'm in agreement here, no Italian bashing.

I was just poking fun and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, right?

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion but saying that the Italians ran away is not an opinion it sounds like a statement of truth.

However this never happened. The Italians recevied so much bad press that many people do believe that the Italian army were cowards. This is untrue and hopefully this mod may start to rectifiy this as we hope to get people interested in this largely 'unknown' front.


On a lighter note the last installment of the webpage has been finished. A new look which we are thoroughly happy with. A few minor problems are being addressed.

Head over to www.campagna-italiana.com to have a peek! Leave any bugs. comments, suggestions on the forums.

 

[MercyKiller]

this mod could be boring, cuz the italians didn't put up much of a fight

it was walk in the park, or a walk in the pizza place..

 

[daschewy]

didn't the italians not fight the allies. From what I remember the Italians sued for peace with the Allies and then fought against the Germans as partisans.

 

[Jono]

The italians fought against the allies...and with them...
