    Artiglieri -- what color uniforms did Italian artillery use (North Africa)

    Hi guys, I'm new here. I am currently making an Italian army for the Flames of War game. I just painted a Flak 88 gun and am also building North Africa dessert terrain for it to mount on (see attached pic). Next I will paint the artillerymen (in the pic you can see circles where they will...
