ANZIO:
The battle for Italy was a grueling affair whose strategic importance lay in the effect it had on the timetable for the coming D-Day invasion. To the Allies, Anzio was to be the bold strike to break the back of the impregnable Cassino Line defenses. To the Germans it became the largest self-sustaining prison camp in Europe!
Whatever it was, it became the symbole for the most bitter defensive struggle in WWII. Now, YOU take the role of Theatre Commander and attempt to break the stalemate on the Italian peninsula. Every division, brigade, and battalion that took part in the original campaign is at your command. Every detail is as it was then, except YOU are in command to win or lose this decisive battle.
Perhaps you, as German General Kesselring, can accomplish the impossible and throw the Allies back into the sea. Or maybe, as Allied General Montgomery, you can break through the German mountain defenses to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany. Discover for yourself what it takes to win a war. Put down your history book and see if you could have done it.
