Italian M13/40
tyroflyer:
I would like the Italian M13/40 to get serious consideration. There is a colourful character on this forum who has made it less than his secret desire. In view of his contribution to this forum and Rubicon with his considerable knowledge I think it deserves a place in the queue above what might be it's natural position. I note others have also expressed an interest in Italian vehicles.

I wonder who you are referring to?

There are more...
Some Threadomancy on topic 509 might have been useful.
I was expecting a push by Warlord on Italian forces to go with the North Africa theatre book, which failed to materialise.
Possibly an opportunity for a box containing a tank and infantry in plastic? Of course then do you style the figures similar to the Perry plastics and their Italian metals or continue with the Bolt Action style?
Bolt Action BEF metal and unfinished Perry plastic (from a.comparison post used on a different forum in April 2014 and still not finished ^___^).
tyroflyer:
Not sure I want to encourage Rubicon to dissipate their considerable talent by doing infantry as well. I admit I have a bias to only buying my infantry in metal. I understand Rubicon wanting to crew their vehicles with plastic figures to ensure they are compatible if nothing else. However I'd prefer to see them concentrate on the vehicles themselves and the figures necessary to crew them. There are after all plenty to do.
ultravanillasmurf:
My thought is that the availability of vehicles and figures in plastic might make the force and theatre more attractive.
Being able to put together a small force for Bolt Action or one of the skirmish games at low cost might tempt players to splash out on the kits.
Plastic figures allow bigger forces to be more economical, I would generally only buy plastics unless it was something special. I also find they are more "fun" to build, allowing conversions, I have a "counts as" Commando "K gunner" armed with an MG42. YMMV.

Apparently used by German and Commonwealth forces (basically both sides used anything that moved).
