Axis Armor totals, Battle of Sicily! - JayTownsend - 02-23-2013
Kind of interesting but while I was doing work on a scenario related to Sicily I found the actual Axis armor totals on Sicily during the Allies invasion.
Italian:
148 tanks: R-35, Fait 3000 and L.3 with about 100 being the R-35 variety.
68 assault guns: Semovente 47/32, Semovente 75/18 and Semovente 90/53 with 24 being the Semovente 90/53 variety.
50-60 armored cars: AB41
Also a lot of trucks converted into Portees of different types. Total Italian armor was about 276 vehicles.
German:
The 15th Panzer Division had 53 tanks: 7 PzII’s and 46 Pz IV’s
The HG Panzer Division had 122 tanks: 53 PzIII’s, 32 Pz IV’s 20 StuGIII and 17 Tiger Tanks
Also a variety of halftracks including Flak!
Total German armor was about 173 tanks.
Total Axis armor for the battle of Sicily about 451 vehicles!
Food for thought in the PG world!

Jay, all of this information about Sicily is apropos of nothing in particular, right?

Sorry, no Sicily yet but maybe a scenario from Sicily on something else!

Goodness, if you can't figure out what that supplement is from what has been written you simply aren't paying attention...
