Italy '43

ITALY ’43 – Fifth Army’s Advance to the Gustav Line

Relive the 1943 Italian Campaign

The campaign runs from October 2 to December 31, 1943, with grueling battles for every village and mountaintop, including San Pietro Infine, Monte Lungo, and Monte Camino.

Proven system with enhancements

The game uses the same map and unit scale as Salerno ’43 and Normandy ’44, with some rule modifications and improvements. Italy ’43 includes four scenarios: Across the Volturno, The Barbara Line, The Mignano Gap, and the full Campaign Game. New rules introduce Defense Line construction, Mountain units, and two new attack options: Prepared Offensives and Sustained Attacks.
