Renowned for their sharpshooting skills and physical endurance, the Bersaglieri were among Italy’s most distinctive and effective troops. Instantly recognizable by the black capercaillie feathers adorning their helmets, these elite light infantry were trained for speed, precision, and tactical independence. Their greater autonomy compared to regular infantry units made them highly efficient and versatile soldiers during World War II.
Central to Italy’s doctrine of mobile warfare, Bersaglieri units were often deployed with bicycles or motorcycles to support armoured and mechanized formations. They first saw action in France and Greece, and later proved their mettle in North Africa—fighting in East Africa, the Western Desert, and Sicily. In several battles, Bersaglieri troops fought with extreme resolve, sometimes holding their ground to the last man even as their German allies withdrew, defying common stereotypes about Italian military performance.
The Bersaglieri also took part in the brutal fighting on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Red Army. This boxed set pays tribute to their legacy with 30 highly customizable 28mm plastic figures. It includes individual bases and a waterslide decal sheet, allowing you to create varied squads and unit markings. Figures are supplied unassembled and unpainted—perfect for adding an elite, mobile Italian force to your Bolt Action army.
