The game (picking up where Salerno ’43 left off) covers the time period from October 2 to December 31st, 1943.\n\nIt includes four scenarios: Across the Volturno, The Barabara Line, The Mignano Gap, and the full Campaign Game.\n\nItaly '43 uses the same game system used in Salerno ’43 with some modifications and rule improvements, and it uses the exact same map and unit scale as Salerno '43 and Normandy '44.\n\nAs in other 19xx games, the rules include ZOC Bonds, Determined Defense, Extended Movement, and a straightforward CRT. New rules include: Construction of Defense Lines, Mountain units, and two new attack options: Prepared Offensives and Sustained Attacks.\n\nPlayers will find the game and order of battle extremely useful in understanding what happened in this campaign. It allows players to experience and understand how a depleted German army was able to slow and then stop the Fifth Army at the Gustav Line.\n\nTime scale: 2-3 days per turn\nMap scale: 3.8 km per hex\nUnit Scale: Battalion, Regiment, and Brigade\nPlayers: 1-2\n\nComponents:\n\n- One PAPER Map: 25.5\" x 22\"\n- One Countersheet\n- One Rules Booklet\n- One Allied Setup\/Reinforcement card\n- One German Setup\/Reinforcement card\n- Two Scenario cards\n- Two (identical) Player Aid cards\n- Two six-sided dice\n\n—description from publisher's website\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.20 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mark Simonitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51926905159896,"sku":"SB-B88CF2F625DB-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/4m225y0yrernmb4i0aqao38u6mrv.jpg?v=1785465814","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/italy-43","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
