Italian Special Rules
The Regio Esercito (the Royal Army, pronounced Re-jee-oh Eh-sehrr-chee-toh) was unprepared for war in 1940, despite
Mussolini’s call for an army of ‘8 million bayonets’. The resulting force is very uneven—some officers are excellent,
while others are simply abysmal, and the training of their soldiers and these special rules reflect this.

Avanti! Heroism

Early-war 8 Million Bayonets
Mussolini demanded an army eight million strong to create his new Roman Empire. The rapid expansion needed for this led
to reservist officers being recalled to the colours with little extra training. After 20 years of civilian life, some were still good
soldiers, however most were not!

To reflect the variable quality of Italian officers, Italian platoons are rated as Regular, Black Shirt, Elite, or Artillery. After
deployment, but before the first turn, roll a die for each platoon and its attached teams and consult the Early-war 8 Million
Bayonets table to determine their Training and Motivation characteristics.

The old, yet reliable, cannone da 65/17 modello 13 mountain
gun proved to be a valuable asset providing close support to
the Italian infantry. It could be broken down and transport-

the rough Greek terrain.
The gun’s high explosives made it perfect for destroying
enemy machine-guns and anti-tank guns, opening the way
