Battles in Italy is the latest title in the award-wining Decisive Battles in WWII series from Strategic Studies Group. It takes you to three of the toughest fought battles in the Mediterranean -- the invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky, the landings at Salerno, codenamed Operation Avalanche and the landings at Anzio, codenamed Operation Shingle.
While the invasion of Sicily went more or less to plan, the result in the two subsequent amphibious operations was less certain, with the safety of the beachheads at both Salerno and Anzio in considerable doubt for some time. Neither side has sufficient resources to do the job properly, and improvisation and desperation are the order of the day, and as a result all three battles are tense and exciting affairs.
All three campaigns incorporate many new improvements and enhancements to the Decisive Battles series. Some of these updates include rules for surrender, political units, cooperation between countries, and improved amphibious invasions!
Features:
- Three complete campaigns, Sicily, Salerno and Anzio
- New rules for Surrender and Political Units
- New rules for co-operation between countries
