Part 13: Turn 16 - 16th October 1943

The Germans assault the Beachhead. We hold.



The fighting is fierce, but the number of attacks is limited.



Their losses are higher, but now I have to break out.







Our bombers continue to do good work.



The beach head has some good support.






I unload the troops, and Monty leads the advance out and towards Rome. This is limited as most of the unloading units time is spent readying for battle – but its a start!



Italy Surrenders. While most units on the mainland are disarmed and interned, Corsica and Sardinia have men who are willing to fight before going home. I begin landing troops at the now friendly ports. These troops won't be around for long.



More men land, next turn I hope to have room to bring in a HQ or two.



I think this is Bad for Hitler.



Yep, their all Billy-no-mates up there.



And things are not likely to get any better.
