Included the motorized 5th Light Division and the 15th Panzer Division. This force landed at Tripoli on 12 February 1941. I do own a Panzer 2 which will be painted up fairly promptly. As well as some armoured cars (8 rads and 4 wheelers)So I suspect they will eventually evolve into Italian Tankettes and a whole Italian Army.... Eventually.

Now there are 2 of us. Mostly they like bigger scales. One member does pretty much everything at 15mm while another has 28mm as his go to scale.

Several years back I started the desert war in 10mm, but none of my buddies were very "taken" with the scale and I ended up scrapping it.

I guess it all comes down to what you want from a game. 6mm would work well if you want a Tank "Centric" game with loads and loads of tanks. Personally I like Platoon or company level games (or squad level). I am not over plussed by loads of tanks and nothing else. Which is why I like PBI rules.
