It's a bit like a dynamic campaign. He plays and I make scenarios depending on the outcome.

Anyway, welcome back!

Isolated on their last hill, the Germans decided to surrender. This would be our last battle on African ground, but far from our last battle in Europe.
Next stop, Italy. But first we were re-equipped with shiny new American equipment: Sherman tanks, Springfield and Garand rifles, new uniforms... we are a completely new outfit!

16th May 1944

For the past few months the allied armies have been held up at the Cassino position, part of the Gustav Line. But now the Polish flag flies on the ancient monastery and the allies are once again on the move. The objective: Rome.

Our task is to break through a secondary part of the Gustav Line, the so called Pontecorvo Line. We will do this by reaching three consecutive phase lines code named "Sparrow", "Cardinal" and "Sparrow". We have ample fire support.

- Deploy your forces
- Reach all three phase lines

All right, I have managed to push through the first line. Casualties are low as for now, however I am worried what lies beyond. I found artillery sufficient for this battle... but I hope HQ will assign some more as good defensive positions (towns) are before us.

Cool!

We have advanced to the first phase line yesterday. According to our intelligence services, the Germans are trying to delay us, while their pioneers are frantically working on the Pontecorvo Line. Most pillboxes are already in place and while we were fighting our way through the German defenses yesterday, they started digging trenches and stringing wires. Soon they will start sowing mines as well.
In your staff two factions have formed. The older, more experienced officers want to stick to the original plan: Take the phase lines methodically one by one. However, some young hotheads suggest that a deft stroke, maybe bypassing the nearby village, could reach the defense line before it is finished. Your call.

- Deploy your forces in the indicated area
- Set an objective for yourself and try to achieve it
