I done that with my Germans with a Surmpioniere and Heer Pioneer 8 man squads with flamethrowers and 2nd Lt. I done a snap to with said Lt and did a Venus Flaytrap against a 12 man strong US Vet infantry force with tough fighters. I was not going to risk having that squad close to one of mine and decide to assault. It was just that everything was lined up for me to pull it off, so my Sturms went first with their flamethrower, GrB-39 grenade launcher and small arms . The flamer took 3 down and put 3 total pins with another casualty added. Then the Heer did the same thing where their flamer hit done another 4 pins! and took 4 down and that was when they failed and was done. I call the maneuver a flytrap as when you see it close on an insect that was exactly how it looked where the 2nd Lt was center and both squads went around the US squad. I do wonder if any other nation is going to get double flamethrowers like the Italians if not that would make the Italians unique to the point other players might pick them up over other nations.

Nice list, would love to see an Italian unit or list building analysis from your side. Good luck in the tournament btw
