Kind of interesting but while I was doing work on a scenario related to Sicily I found the actual Axis armor totals on Sicily during the Allies invasion.
Italian:
148 tanks: R-35, Fait 3000 and L.3 with about 100 being the R-35 variety.
68 assault guns: Semovente 47/32, Semovente 75/18 and Semovente 90/53 with 24 being the Semovente 90/53 variety.
50-60 armored cars: AB41
Also a lot of trucks converted into Portees of different types. Total Italian armor was about 276 vehicles.
German:
The 15th Panzer Division had 53 tanks: 7 PzII’s and 46 Pz IV’s
The HG Panzer Division had 122 tanks: 53 PzIII’s, 32 Pz IV’s 20 StuGIII and 17 Tiger Tanks
Also a variety of halftracks including Flak!
Total German armor was about 173 tanks.
Total Axis armor for the battle of Sicily about 451 vehicles!
Food for thought in the PG world!
