Battles in Italy
is an operational wargame that
takes you to three of the toughest fought battles in the Mediterranean — the
invasions of
Sicily,
Salerno, and
Anzio. You are given complete control
of either the allies or the axis armies and must utilize strategy and tactics to
overcome your opponent. All three campaigns incorporate many new improvements
and enhancements to the Decisive Battles series. Some of these updates include
rules for surrender, political units, cooperation between countries, and
improved amphibious invasions!
The Decisive Battles of World War II Series has won
a number of awards, including War Game of the Year from both Computer Gaming
World and Gamespy, Editor’s Choice from PC Gamer, and The Wargamer’s Award for
Excellence. The series features an operational setting with an easy to use
interface. The game is approachable by beginners and masters with customizable
AI options to give any skill level a run for their money.

extended tutorial to help new players get started.
