Italians

Rommel is just right.
I dont know what your thinking at the moment
but i think you didnt understand him right.

Also liking the idea of naming Rommel suggested,
since it kills 2 birds with one stone

NAme wouldnt be a prob. Just name it "Italian squad." Anyone have a Prob about that?

Exactly this is a problem out of my view
When we name a squad "italian fighter" a large group
of people would start "crying" and "flaming" [ just remeber our "psychic" romanian... Concrete names are a problem ] because their nation isnt represented and all in all a
Ostheer hadnt enough space to give each axis nation an own squad. So in my opinion a "neutral" name like "nordic volunteers" or "mediterranean volunteers" would be the best because such a general nameing will include much more then just ONE nation 

thats not half bad  you could like put arm patches on them on a certian squad and have Italian, Spanish and Romanian in one

okay well you didn't bring it out vety well to tell you the truth and I have an idea for the units.

[Saavedra]

Wait, so... you would put Spanish, Romanian, Italian and God knows who else all in the same squad?

That sounds silly.

Its for people like you who want Spaniards (for some reason) and for people like me that want any other country

lol. We have to be "politically correct."

[IntoTheMotherland]

in my opinion.They should be in the game.Weak troops,But hey,it always has it's positives.

Why? I would prefer a unit with good abilities than a very weak and cheap unit. We know this system in soviet army!   

[Theodorable]

You guys should read Rommel's works.

He mentions that the average Italian soldier was not a bad one, but rather they were led by inexperienced men, and were using WWI equipment. The average Italian soldier was one whom did not want to fight, for he had nothing to gain from it.

Italy and Japan are the next factions if anything.

Romania and Bulgaria failed miserably on the Eastern Front with troops as early as 1943 surrendering before firing a shot.

What good abilities can a poorly trained and badly equipped army have?
Ostheer needs volk like units.

You coul make a 9-men squad including one italian, one spaniard, one romanian, one indian, one finn, one ukrainian, one french, one dane and one belgian (he should be slightly overweight to be distinuishable from the dane), alltogether mumbling some multi-lingual drivel when clicked on...

Please don't include anything but germans into the Ostheer. Please!

The multinational squads are a bad idea, it seems like a war story where a bunch of guys who don't know each other getting seperated from their units and stumbling across one another. Then they need to get over personal opinions and differeneces and fight as a squad. It's way too unrealistic. But to be honest, I don't get what's with this "Oh my god! Ostheer features need to fit the original generic COH theme! Ach nein!" obsession.
Yes, I do want Spanish that are verbally indicated that they're Spanish troops that say, "Si senor?",
And I want the same for Finnish, Italian and Romanian squads. But in their own tongues.
