AUTHOR-S*NOTE Since I saw the first Team Yankee boxed sets, I knew I had to play this game. The big question was which army to collect. Because all of the available ones are great! Nonetheless I could not resist to collect an army based on my country defence forces. While I was looking at the Leopard | tank and the M113 transport boxes, all the amazing photos and movies I saw during my childhood were passing in front of my eyes: I had to collect the Italian Army! This booklet is the result of few months of research and engagement about the Italian Army in the “80s. I thought at the beginning that it could be an easy task basically most of the units were USA or German vehicles. I could not be more wrong. Many of the vehicles I needed were not in the Team Yankee book and I had to create a card for them. Moreover informations about the army composition during the cold war were not clear and fragmentary. It took me several hours of work and the help of good people to collect and order all the material available in this pdf. I wish to thank for their help the gaming group of Florence “The Hobby Room”, the Italian Team Yankee forum members, and the whole comunity of the Team Yankee Facebook group. This booklet is an unofficial guide on how to play the Exercito Italiano in the ‘Team Yankee game. It is still a Beta version, as 1 am still collecting the models and playtesting the list. The next step will be to replace the card images with only photos of my models and to determine the exact point costs and options, I hope to ear any contribution or constructive critics at stefano.zanini8 | @gmail.com. Happy gaming!of et BN VN NN i ITALIAN REPUBLIC Italy can be described as having been on the front line during the cold war, the Southern end of Churchill's Tron Curtain’ referred to as Trieste. After the Second World War, Italy was ruled by the Christian Democracy party fully backed the Catholic Church, The other party, the very huge Communist Party, which was treated as the largest in the Western Europe, was always in opposition at all time. The latter can be addressed to the considerable role played by the U.S. embassy in Italian political life during the Cold War. US policy at the time was driven by one imperative: Italy, a crucial member of NATO, could not let the Communist Party enter into the government, They succeeded in keeping the Italian Communists out of power, thanks largely to the revulsion caused by the Red Brigades’ terrorism and to the divisions between social democrats and hard-line Leninists within the Communist Party itself. In 1951 the Italian Army had joined the NATO and was part of the Allied Forces Souther Europe, ready to defend against a possible invasion from or through Yugoslavia. The field troops were comprised basically of combined NATO ground forces deployed in the north central and northeastern parts of the country. They were intended for ‘waging combat operations in conjunction with the troops of other countries in the bloc, mainly US Air Force, the US Army 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, to be strengthen in a second moment by land reinforcements arriving from Spain and Portugal. THE ITALIAN ARMY By 1985 the army consisted of 260,000 active duty soldiers, of which 189,000 were conscripts serving only 12 months. An additional number of reserves available for immediate mobilization was estimated at 250,000. Operational strength was nineteen tank battalions (Leopard 1A2), seven Armored battalions combined tanks and mechanized infantry, with M60s and M1 13s APCs, 4 reconnaissance squadrons, 32 mechanized infantry brigade (M113s), and 14 motorized infantry battalions (5 in reserve) MII3 APCs were cheap and by far the most common tank types in service in the Esercito Italiano, produced under license in 4000 exemplars and derived into multiple variants like the up-armoured CCV, and the SIDAM- 25.The weapons and equipment used by the Italian army in 1985 varied in age and quality At the beginning of the year about 1,750 main battle tanks were listed in the inventory, but nearly one third of these (550 United States M47) would be considered obsolescent and equipped only reserve units, The remaining 1,200 main battle tanks were divided disproportionately: 300 M60 and 920 Leopard 1, Many of the tanks were produced in Italy under license as well as the improved version of the M113. The army also used greatly as artillery the 155mm gun jointly developed by Italy, Britain, and West Germany and generally used throughout NATO, From 1975 the intermediary regimental level was deleted and Battalions were placed under direct command of the Brigades HQ. The Army components were organized in 1985 into five armored and seven mechanized brigades grouped into four divisions (one armored, three mechanized): five Alpine (mountain) brigades; one separate mechanized infantry brigade; five motorized infantry brigades; and one airborne brigade. In 1985 there was also one missile brigade. The aviation component consisted of 52 helicopter squadrons and four aviation wings In the 1980s the army continued to bolster esprit de corps through the adaptation of the wealth of colorful military traditions to the modern army. The Bersaglieri, for example, Oonuehnd a CORPS Ever) CORPS ITALY who served as the assault infantry to the armored divisions and brigades, wore the helmet decorated with a large black capercaillie feather. From 1958-59, the Italian army was divided between the Il Army Corps (Milan), IV Alpine Army Corps (Bolzano) and V Army Corps DEFENDING THE SOGLIA DI GORIZIA The best equipped units were in charge of the crucial Northeastem sector and the narrow “Gorizia’s gate”, between the Adriatic and the Alps, which leads to Italy and Southern Europe. Gorizia was the centre of the first line defense strategies of the Allied Land Forces Southern Europe’s command. The IV and V Army Corps had a defensive role, supported by a complex of fortified bunkers placed in crucial transit areas toward Italy. Soviet and Hungarian troops, probably supported by communist Yugoslavians would face the entrenched Fanteria d’Arresto. The II Army Corps was intended to counter attack Soviet forces, once the enemy have penetrated into National territory SOVIET SOUTHERN SCO scLc nt Tey Nh a a paar ie Peer ae mS aM INTL YUGOSLAVIAlll CORPO D’ARMATA DIVISIONE CENTAURO GRUPPO ESPLORANTI Pere BRIGATA CORAZZATA Barer (DIVISIONE CENTAURD DIVIGIORE CENTAURO COMPAGNIA 'SQUADRONE COMPAGNIA CARRI ESPLORATORI LEOPARD 1 BERSAGLIER! 1S" STORMO.
