It would be cool to see Indian Forces, Vichy France and Italy Be Added to Hell Let Loose in an Early-War Tunisia Liberation
Hey everyone,
Seeing how Team 17 seems to be shifting their focus to the African campaign, I’ve been thinking a lot about some additional factions that could add incredible could be added in the future, specifically in the liberation of Tunisia which is where both the desert maps are going to the played. Maybe then we will finally be free of the Tommies and Joes vs Fritz cycle, don't get me wrong the Germans have cool guns and their fame, but they weren't facing the allies alone.
For example on the allied side:
The Indian Army played a significant role in the North African campaign, with over 200,000 soldiers serving in various capacities. The Indian 8th Infantry Division fought alongside the British and Commonwealth forces, including in crucial battles like the Battle of El Alamein.
On the Axis side:
The Vichy French government, under German influence, controlled parts of North Africa, including Tunisia. They fought fiercly against the Allies during the campaign. The addition of Vichy France would introduce a whole bunch of new weaponry with the downside of french armor sucking a LOT, would be interesting to see how T17 would counter that, it could lead to unique strategic challenges.
And lastly, the Italian Army!
They were heavily involved in the early stages of the North African campaign, and Italy was one of the major Axis powers in the region. While Italy's forces were often seen as weaker compared to the Germans, they still played a significant role in the defense of Tunisia and other North African territories. Italy’s unique (and rather odd) equipment could add a much needed fresh twist to the game, finally giving players the chance to experience the different Axis powers perspectives of the war.
What do you guys think?
