Morning Knp.
The Italians had no inclination to fight the British and even less the Americans, when they joined the war.
There was also a massive class divide between Officers and the enlisted man. This made morale very low and did not help create a fighting force. Italians were happy to be left alone.
The Italian army was also a foot one. Hardly any units were motorised and that would prove a problem in the vast expanses of desert and the seesaw nature of the campaign.
The British were lucky when they attacked in Dec of 1940 as they had only had limited objectives. The advance was so uncontested, that they kept going until they had Benghazi and Tobruk.
Being Italian, I love to laugh at my WW2 army’s dismal performances and unwillingness to throw their lives away for someone else’s glory.
When the Italians switched sides, however, things got very bloody as civil war broke out amongst the Fascists and Communists. Many Italians proved they were not afraid of dying once they had a real cause and future in which they believed.
My dad’s dad was in Africa, Russia and later ran and hid from the Fascists in Tuscany.

I completely agree on the dicerolling, otherwise it will be very slow. And because of being at both sides of the atlantic you cant really expect people to be online at the same time.
-
Does anyone have a picture of the setup?
-
-
Yeah, I saw that. If there were someway to move them and add/delete units, that would be good.
-
As soon as SgtBlitz comes online we can start?
-
I’ll give SgtBlitz until noon, and then I’ll start.
-
How are you going to keep track of which units are where?
-
I hope everyone posts a list of their units in the end of their turn. From that and the map I am going to try and keep track.

So we post the setup at the end of the turn?
-
I’ll post the disposition of all my forces at the end of my turn. If there is a problem with anything, respond and we’ll figure it out. If everything is ok, then the next player can start their turn, and so on.
-
its the best way i can think of
-
So we don’t need to post the forces of those we attacked that turn?

So I get this straight, to roll the dice you put in:
:@@@ x@y;
or
:@@@ x@y:
Panzerjager said colon on the end, meaning the : symbol. While Calvinhobbesliker says semicolon, meaning the ; symbol. Which is it?

I said “change semicolon ; to colon :” It’s a colon, but I put a semicolon so it doesn’t roll.
Also, it’s not @@@, but aaa
