Old School Tactical: Volume 4 – Italian Theater 1943-45

Break the Axis in Italy! This tactical World War II game covers the Allied campaign from the invasion of Sicily in 1943 through the battles for Rome and the fortified lines of northern Italy. British forces, supported by Sherman and Churchill tanks, face German and Italian units across difficult terrain and contested river valleys. Two players resolve scenarios using counters for infantry, weapons, and vehicles. Players spend Impulse Points to activate their forces, maneuver through terrain, and attack enemy units. Infantry combat, assaults, and armored engagements are resolved with separate combat tables, while casualty and victory points determine the outcome.
