Mini italian commemorative events (and simple rewards to make)

Suggestions
1

Some possible mini commemorative events that DF could add to vary a bit from the usual 4 factions and add new easy-to-produce content in the endless wait for a possible Italian faction

Creation of rewards

all the rewards presented are variants of objects already present in the game
in this way the work for DF would be minimal and the chances of seeing these events greate

Here are 3 possible events

EVENTS

  • June 10, 1940 Italy’s declaration of war

REWARD
The reward is a rare variant of the carcano used by the duce’s musketeers

The Musketeers of the Duce were a select unit of the Volunteer Militia for National Security (MVSN) founded by Mussolini on February 11, 1923 with the function of an honor guard.

The corps was disbanded with a special circular in 1940, to allow the musketeers to enlist to serve Italy in the Second World War.

their rifle was a special version of the Carcano 91 Cavalleria (which we already have in the game used by the San Marco premium squad) but with black painted wood and barrel, breech and bayonet retain the original browning, while the butt plate, bolt, rear sling swivel, mouthpiece and magazine are thick chromed.

  • April 7, 1881 Tullio Marengoni’s birthday

Italian engineer and designer. In the first half of the 20th century, he was the chief designer of the largest Italian gun manufacturing company, Beretta of Gardone Val Trompia. He conceived and designed some of the most successful and long-lasting models of the Brescia-based company, such as the Beretta M34 or the Beretta MAB 38.

REWARD

The reward is divided into two weapons
the first is the golden beretta from the old twitch drops (1 piece)

image

the second is a variant of the MAB38 (2 pieces)
in the first series MAB38 a darker national walnut wood was used compared to the classic and cheap beech
in the game all the mabs are in beech and DF would simply have to change the color
here DF can choose which one to take between the MAB of the tech tree (mab38 with 20 shots and 40) or the MAB with bayonet (premium)

- April 25, 1945 anniversary of the liberation of Italy

REWARD

the rewards are two sets of 3 helmets each for the allies and axis

ALLIES

4th Bersaglieri Regiment Brodie Mk2 helmet
DF simply has to take an English helmet and slap the premium Bersaglieri pen on it and if he wants to do something nice maybe even the Italian flag on the side and the coat of arms

AXIS

Stahlhelm RSI

In the autumn of 1944 the Army of the Social Republic adopted a new regulation on the uniform, with which on the one hand they were concerned with differentiating themselves as much as possible from the Regio Esercito (to avoid the risk of friendly fire), on the other they were closer to the taste of the German ally.
(the uniforms 44 are a bigger discussion on which I will perhaps make a post one day for those interested)

in this case DF must take the black Stahlhelm present in the customization and apply the tricolor decal on the sides and the RSI eagle

Not a very high quality photo but it is possible to see one of these helmets on the head of a legionnaire of the Muti Black Brigade

Shame on you for picking the day of Italy’s defeat over its foundation (March 17 1861).

I had to get something related to WW2 and this date gave me the opportunity to insert those helmets

Thanks giving and some other events are not even WW2 related… But I do see your point.

I was almost tempted to put a summer event where I could get sunglasses for the soldiers but I didn’t know how to put it XD

Sun glasses were actually commonly issued equipment, its such a shame we don’t see them in game.

all on board with rewards except helmets.

helmets should go in the base customization. not locked behind limited timed events.

As an owner of Bersaglieri squad I would rather want them to get this helmet as an update because they still wear those stupid german clothes

I know that the event helmets might not go well with everyone but I had to think of events using material already existing in the game and since the Italians have been completely removed except for the lucky few who managed to get them before the Merge this means that all new post-merge players will never be able to use them because they are exclusive to Italian soldiers making the event useless (and putting them on the Germans makes no sense)

for the allies the situation is worse because it would be possible to only introduce a couple of squads through events since they are almost identical in uniform to the English

the recent introduction of the Chinese however could open the way to soldiers with the first Italian CIL uniforms and but the problem remains

(until DF can find a developer who knows how to use the copy and paste program this is what we have just remember that to introduce a ready tank like the Super Pershing it took a year so let’s let them use the Paint program maybe it will take them less time to do something)

well, no.

players still have access to the machinegunner squad which has italian soldiers inside.

so they are not completely gone ( and, in theory, can access to some of the premium italian squads too ).

which it’s why said helmets should be available to italian squads ( and yes. not to germans )

12

Compared to British squad in USA tree, Italian in German tree can be really counted on a single hand

13

well yes.

which it is somewhat of a shame.

but hey, at least some of them are still there.

which even if it’s one squad ( as tt goes ), they should get the ability to be dressed accordingly

like, it seems counter intuitive to even further sewer the customization by putting such items even more limited.

The Italian Christmas counterattack of 41 in Russia is a good one. The Breda m30 7.35 can be an event gun.
