We're at Day 7 of our 10 days worth of releases and it's just a small one today, with the WWII Italians getting a 65mm mountain gun.  We're going to do some work on the Italian artillery options later this year as well, so keep an eye out for those.

That's very dinky!

I'm taking it by the shorts it was used in North Africa, not just up mountains?

It was used in North Africa too Fred and was apparently popular due to its very low profile.

Cheers Steve. I'm not even pretending I've finished my Italians so they can definitely have a couple of these to give them a bit of HE support.

From my WW2 Fact file, it would seem you can also use it as the 6.5 cm GebK 246(i) in a German army. But only in small numbers, and those units will probably think 'Why us?!'.

Could this also be used for Spanish Civil War?  The CTV seem to have had a mix of helmet types.

Captioned "Nationalist forces at the Battle of Guadalajara", so I'm gonna say "yes".

Thank you.  The gun is certainly OK for SCW, I just wanted to check if there was anything about the crew that would look wrong.
