K&C needs to make a series for the BALKANS WARS of the 90's! Look in the osrpey books, those subjects have the coolest uniforms ever!! Also, K&C needs to make more WW2 Italians! It is time for something a little different. The whole Normandy Collection just gets a little tired after a while!

If K and C do the Balkans then they might as well do some sets for the Rwandan genocide as well. You know like Hotel Rwanda. Thye could have some ineffctual UN peacekeepers soem Tutus militia wiedling pagas etc. Sorry mate but I would find the Balkans conflict a little bit depresssing.

I’m 100% with you, this war was a very depressing one, and I don't think that K&C should spend time with that.
Sorry.

Not the Balkans of the 1990s---the Balkan Wars at the turn of the last century before the start of WWI.

Michael,i think you might well be right about the Armd Cars and Tanks i'm just not sure if Italian Figs are that popular.I like the set that came with the MKII a while back,for some reason the Italian participation in WW2 seems to be overlooked somewhat.

Probably not the correct thread for this, but there's a made-by-Italians movie on general release here in Dubai with English subtitles called "El Alemain" and it focusses on - an Italian platoon at - El Alemain. Not sure if its available in the UK, but its pretty good.

Rob, I'm suprised of your saying Italians for N. Africa, wouldn't be a GOOD Seller? The EL ALAMEIN DVD, that Harrytheid is talking about is a Very GOOD and Interesting Film! Also, I support you Guys , abroad forthe Australian and British WW2 Sets; so Please, help me out here, and support the Italians! What is a Desert War WW2 without the Italians?

The only good thing Mussolini and the Italians did was help the Russians. By attacking Albania in 1941 they forced Hitler to interfere to save Mussolini Army from catastrophe and the Germans had to postpone Barbarossa.
Beside that, in every front they try to participate was terrible disaster. Conclusion, there is no need for more Italians.

Guys,
As you all know, I'm not an individual to court controversyD) but I have to agree with John here. IMHO you can't have a complete WWII desert war range without the Italians.
In addition, despite images and film footage that suggests the contrary, some of the hardest fighting Empire troops encountered during the desert war was against Italian troops. It says so here in my reference book.
Seriously, I don't believe the majority of Italian troops were ice-cream salesmen and spaghetti-eaters crying for their Mamma-Mia's. I understand that the artillery troops in especial were pretty tough opponents.
Cheers
