Part 12: Turn 15 - 9th October 1943

With Monty in command, the invasion of Italy begins!



The Italians on the coast never know what hits them!



The ports of Anzio and Lida de Roma are secured.



Hurried counter attacks are launched.



So far, the invasion is a stunning success.






Air support is ordered to support the landings and disrupt any troops coming up from the south.




Normal bombing continues.



Hmmm, Interdiction.






The Axis have ringed my landings, but have given me some room to expand.



I flood the area with troops, but as I don't have the movement points to unload, I can't advance much this week – we'll just have to hold out until next turn, when I will have the forces to advance – and bring in the second wave!






We've not forgotten about you, your turn will come.
