nobody for the fiat
blitzkrieg ? for the vickers
for the others, ... i don't know what you're after ... so an answer is difficult
Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

Company B make what they describe as a Vickers- Carden Loyd  4 Ton Export tank, which is essentially the  Model 1936/37. Depending on which army you are intending to field it with you may need to scrachbuild a new turret:

Your other option is to do some minor conversion work to the Warlord/Bolt Action Belgian T-15 light tank:

Fiat Balilla? Company B make a Fiat 508 in 1/56.

If you want other options then there are a number of diecasts out there in 1/43, including a cheapie by Amercom. I suppose it depends on whether you think 1/43 works with 28mm or not. I don't personally but many people do use 1/43 die casts. beggars can't be choosers after all.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Play Chain of Command, most orgs have a car as a level 1 support option to transport a team (usually a group of 6 riflemen or  LMG team).

To be fair there are plenty of trucks and cars out there, more than you could really expect for a scale that's usually skirmish based and where to most gamers and most rules sets a truck is a truck is a truck. The thing is that most WW2 gamers are likely to play with German, American, British or Russian armies. Hence the proliferation of Opel Blitzes, GMCs and GAZ trucks. No shortage of those. Same deal with jeeps, kubelwagens and GAZ-67s. Actually given how little table time most trucks will see it's amazing how many truck models there are. There must be about half a dozen different German truck types made as specific gaming models across the various manufacturers in 1/56, probably a similar number of British and American soft skins.

Minairons, the Spanish resin company does a nice little 1.5 tonne Chevrolet which might make a decent proxy.

I have a  1.5 tonne Chevrolet and Henschel Truck For my SCW.
I know the Greek army had some French and German Trucks before the war.
here a 155mm Schneider plus ? Somua MCG-5 Semi-Tracked in the 30s.

I am not sure about this truck, but the gun is a French 65mm mountain Gun

I am not very good translating with Greek, ok with French Spanish and Polish too a point

looks like a fiat SPA 38 ... a captured one ? as it seem's that he 65mm gun was carried on pack animals ... and it seem's that a lot of captured italian vehicles were in use with the greek army ...

hi Lou
The pictures are from 1940 before the war at a Military Parade from my understanding or might be on there way to the front.
They are in summer uniforms.The Italians started war in October 1940
Most of the pictures I have seen of the Greek army is in winter uniforms.
I have seen a picture of British unit in Greece on the 4th of April in snow.
25n Mapriou 1940 ? maybe some one can translate it into English ?
