Now this is actually a very old idea I had which, since it's drawvember i decided to draw. The idea came to me whey back when on jen 15 2017 when I posted this: UEU-3400 Pearl In the description I wrote about a simulation Pearl went through where she commanded thirdteen M14/41s and six Semovente de 75/18 and 70 infantry.
Here I will try and tell the story behind this small description.
unlike the long.term simulation where the objective of the mission is to see how much you could change and effect the battlefield through tactics, strategic changes among other reforms the simulator sees fit, the S.T.S's are all one mission objectives, too see how long you would survive, how much damage you can do with what little you have etc etc.
S.T.S-Husky had one simple mission: defend the island of Sicily as long as you can.
Commandate Pearl was a member of the 135th Armored Calvary Division Ariete II of the 6th Italian Army, she was, in the simulation, one of the handful of reinforcements sent into the island just days before the allies invaded.
Her unit, was a special unit acting as a fire team, they would be sent into the breached holes of the defenses during the expected Allie invasion.
Called the Mobile-Group "Archimede" the group consisted of four Platoons with platoon-4 having four M13/41 Medium Tanks and Platoon1~3 having three M13/14 medium tanks and two Semovente de 75/18 each.
The group also had six Fiat 626 Troop transport trucks, one acting as an ambulance, two acting as a ammunition carrier and the rest as infantry carriers.
The infantry were mainly consisting of Bersaglieri machine gunners, carrying the beretta modello 1938, 1938/42 and Mp-40s, aside of the few sniper units no one carried a rifle, the idea behind that being they were a rapid response and raiding unit meant for close combat, aside from the SMG they also carried the Beretta M1934 pistol.
Pearl herself carried a Glisenti Modello 1910 as did all tank crew members, in the hope that since they would be fighting within the tank that they would not need a more powerful pistol and it was also a show to her infantry that since they would be fighting in a more dangerous environment that they deserved the pistol, the Bersaglieri's would remember that and fight loyally under her.
Pearl was the commander of he unit but in order to confuse and make the allies not know which tank to attack, she rode on the 3rd tank of platoon-1 and not the HQ or commander tank.
UEU-3495 Greg Universe was the gunner of the tank, with UEU-3994 Steven Q Universe as the driver and UEU-3459 Ruby as the radio operator.
Their unit was stationed near the city of Siracusa when reports of British paratroopers and planes came in, most of the tank units were led by UEUs and Pearl decided to let each platoon, aside from platoon-3 which acted as a reserve force, to go and attack independently, to areas needed of armor.
Pearl led Platoon-1 with her three medium tanks and her two SPGs with 25 Bersaglieri's riding on the tank went only a few km away from their stationed city, coming face to face with the British infantry.
Helping the local defenders, the M14/41 proved useful as the armored vehicle helped punch back the British paratroopers and infantry, enabling the Italians to destroy a stragegicly important bridge that the British needed for advancing.
it seemed easy but as they were fighting Pearl realized that the British had something she had never seen or read about, a type of grenade launcher the British troops tried to use on her tank, as she captured a group of British POWs she found out what those things were. PIAT anti tank weapons.
It looked similar to a U.S bazooka but bigger and it made little noise and had no exhausted, which made it a perfect weapon for ambushes, she collected as many as she could find and started telling the local unit commanders to use it.
With little difficulties they learned how to use the weapon, Pearl retuned to the city and reported to the other platoon's about this weapon and to stay allert.
The next day, Platoon-1 went back to patrol the area, this time with Platoon-4 with her, the picture is of that day, her units were traveling near the right flank of the combat area they fought on the previous day, and they found an advancing British convoy of Trucks, APCs and a handful of tanks.
With 7 tanks and 2 SPGs, she ambushed a convoy of British 8th Army units. She ordered UEU-3811 Bismuth to command the Semovente's and wait for her signal.
As the time was right, she gave the signal, and the Semovente's fired, destroying the front vehicle and the rear vehicle of the convoy in a near simultaneous instant, the British confused, she order the 7 tanks to rapid fire.
Knowing that the heavier armored vehicles could not be damaged by their 47mm guns, she let the Semovente's handle those while her and her tanks handled the lightly armed vehicles and trucks, it was a shooting gallery and after 24 minutes of combat, the unit fled to a safe distance.
They had knocked out 5 British tanks, 13 APCs and 9 trucks a total of 27 British vehicles which later Pearl learned were the engineer units that were being sent to fix the bridge they destroyed a day before.
The group celebrated the victory but in the back of her mind, Pearl knew that this wasn't going to last but swore that she would fight to the bitter end.
