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.
