Combat Mission Units: Italian Infantry Battalion is out for Patrons! (Patreon)

People have been asking about the Italians for ages, so here we are! I was originally going to stick to the company organisation but... well, you'll see. It's a pretty archaic TOE by 1943 standards- looks like the Italians really wanted to fight at the Regimental level- but it really shows how much stuff in the US, British and German TOEs that we all take for granted.

Oh, and the TOE diagram has made a comeback with an updated format:

With that out of the way, I've ploughed straight into Semper Fi Syria Mission 9. It's played through, scripted and I've recorded the narration. Pretty straightforward, though it's a combined Marine-Army mission and I missed having Marine rifle platoons with a bazillion M16A4s.

That's well down the pipeline (just need to cut the audio and grab the footage), and next on the list is another Basics video. A follow-up to the Artillery Basics video covering types of artillery and fun things to do with them is a strong contender.

And then beyond, we've got the 10th Marine mission which involves rescuing some Army scouts who have stumbled into an ambush. This is a mission I know a few of you guys have been looking forward to... looks like there's a lot to go wrong to me.

Anyway, that's where we are this Friday. Again, just a reminder the channel will be changing over to monthly billing next week, but that shouldn't make much of a difference to you guys.
