Awesome! This is going to come in handy for my desert Italians. Strange the warlord instructions say to use German camo orange ochre and canvas for the tropical uniform. I think I like your colors better.

The orange ochre looks a lot more 'sandy' than it does orange in practice - I think most of their guides assume you're going to return to base coats before going straight to highlights after chucking the shade on there, but I'm not that patient! 😅

The L6/40 is actually a really useful little tank. Nice and cheap, and kicks out a decent number of shots for something that small. You don't get anything big in the tank slot, sure, but against Russians you're not likely to need it. Save the points for a big artillery piece - you have great AT capability in the two dual-purpose AA guns available to Italians, which can also fire respectable HE against infantry.

Which partisans kit? If you're referring to the Wargames Atlantic kit, these Warlord Games arms unfortunately don't really fit well with the WGA torsos. If you're looking for old, clapped-out weaponry for partisans to have by this era, mixing and matching with the WGA French or German WWI infantry might be worth looking into, or some of the earliest Warlord plastics might work - I know the Blitzkrieg German arms do fit rather well.
