Italian WW2 reenacting in the UK

IFG who make the 'Italian front' uniforms and equipment are sponsoring a WW2 Italian army UK section - see above link. Maybe I'm mad but this is about as tempting as it gets - not because I'm a Mussolini sympathiser (not that that would be appropriate) but because the Italians have got a bad press, and their kit is pretty stylish.

I haven't done anything this year but I usually do the 18thc - (French and Indian war and American Revolution) and the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685.

Ive posted some pics - thanks for the encouraging comments on the blog - nice to know someone is reading it. Where are you from and do you reenact yourself?

I did some mainstream reenactment in the Napoleonic wars (French of course)
What do you do in World War two? I have a few friends who do this period but in the UK it seems to mainly revolve around doing military vehicle shows. I get the impression that in the states there is amore experiential aspect - more private tacticals. Is that so?
