Italian Army Support Group (hq, Mortar & Mmg)
The Regio Esercito, or Royal Italian Army, was one of the largest ground forces involved in World War II. Hardened by its earlier campaigns in Albania, Ethiopia, and the Spanish Civil War, it entered the global conflict with extensive combat experience, though often hampered by equipment shortages and logistical limitations.
This support group introduces several key roles vital to any Italian force. It includes two officers—one armed with a pistol, the other with a submachine gun—as well as a radio operator and a medic, all crucial to leadership and battlefield resilience. The medium machine gun team features the highly regarded Breda M37, an 8mm air-cooled weapon so effective that it was reused by British SAS units when captured. The mortar team is equipped with the 81mm Mortaio da 81/14 Modello 35, a weapon nearly identical to the American 81mm mortar, known for its reliability and firepower.
The set contains metal miniatures that can represent either regular Italian Army units or Blackshirt troops, along with plastic bases. All models are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Perfect for enhancing your Italian Bolt Action force, this support group delivers a powerful mix of command capability, fire support, and battlefield utility.
