Yesterday Larry told me that Europe 40 only come with Italian infantry. The rest of the pieces will be borrowed from others. This might be a joke, but it might also be true. The Italian tank did not make it to the refreshment molds, so they will borrow the jap tank. Most of the Italian units will look like the japs, only in brown color, actualy.
I figure it is kind of weird that WOTC, who make strategy games, do so piss poor planning. They spend lots of money to make new refresh molds of pieces that was good enough, and they spend lots of money to make new molds of russian navy that will never make it to the map. And now they are short of cash, and cant afford to make nation specific Italian pieces, or do something with the Allied artillery piece wich is shared by 6 nations and the most common piece on the map.
I think WOTC need a new crew. People that actually play A&A.
