The attempted lightning capture of the southernmost bastion of an increasingly embattled Festung Europa. Where the Allied forces undertook the first amphibious assault against Nazi-dominated Europe, and where the greatly outnumbered Axis forces conducted one of the most brilliant rearguard actions of modern times. There is the regular campaign game, a variable campaign game and a short scenario on just the U.S. landings to get a feel for the gameplay. Units are generally battalion and regiment size.
