Wargames Atlantic Italian Infantry - Bersaglieri

Here are 12 figures from the 32 figure box of Wargames Atlantic WW2 Italian Infantry. These are painted up as Bersaglieri in the North African Campaign. The set comes with several head/headgear options, as well as arm/weapon combinations.

The arm/weapons combinations are numbered and go together easily. The hard plastic is very sturdy and should hold up to gaming well.

For the basecoat, I used a local hardware store Khaki spray paint as it was on sale - it has a gloss finish, but since the figures were sprayed with Krylon Flat after the usual Minwax stain, this wasn't a problem.

The feathers are separate pieces, so you can build these as regular troops wearing pith helmets. There are also steel helmet and Alpini head options.

The shot above shows an Atlantic figure between a Warlord Games metal Fallshirmjager on the left and a metal Perry French Legionnaire on the right. They size up well enough - although the Atlantic figures could be slightly bigger, but not noticeably so on the table. I do plan to run a few Bolt Action North African Campaign games after our big convention next month. I don't want to confuse myself with any rules besides Black Powder and Pike & Shotte until after this.

Just a quick project and update to the blog. Thanks for visiting and and wishing you all the best.
