Since our news updater is on vacation, I thought I'd do a small devblog. In this thread it was suggested to include the Semovente 75/18 assault gun to beef up the Italians a bit.

Because of that, Stubbfan decided to port this vehicle over to FH2:
It will be available on Gazala and El Alamein.
This assault gun was inspired by the German StuGIII, which had proven very effective at supporting infantry. Sporting a 75mm howitzer, it was also pressed into the tank hunter role by the Italian army, which was terminally short of effective anti tank equipment. The Semovente series were arguably the most successful Italian armored vehicles of the war. This version was first used in North Africa in 1942 and continued in service for the German army after the armistice with Italy.
