Default Re: spob04 Italian Social Republic

and the answers I gave there apply here as well but I will expand on this a bit

The terms used now work well enough. There is a very good chance any further changes to the game will involve changing OOB's like Italy and RSI in the same manner the Hungarian OOB was changed in V2. Non English names was an experiement in WW2 that was not repeated except in a very limited way in MBT

166/167 Bicicletta -> Bersaglieri ciclisti; "Bicicletta" fits the space available and there is no way to shorten or abbreviate "Bersaglieri ciclisti" so that it's readable to anyone. "Antipartigiana" just barely fits the space available, shortening "Squadra antipartigiani" so that it's understandable to everyone is impossible. The SM.82 is referred to as Canguru more often than Canguro so "Canguru" is used.
