Campaign: Italy: Soft Underbelly Product Description
With the Axis Powers ejected from North Africa, the Western Allies look to take the fight to the “soft underbelly” of Europe – Italy. This campaign supplement for Bolt Action focuses on Operation Husky, the airborne and naval invasion of Sicily, the hard-fought battles in the villages and rugged mountain passes of that island, and the advance up the Italian Peninsula towards Rome. With a host of scenarios, new units, special rules & theatre selectors, this new book contains everything players will need to refight these important battles in defence of the Regno d’Italia or to strike at the weak link of Axis Europe to knock Italy out of the war.
The Campaign
This book hones in on the first six months of the strike into Italy, from the eve of Operation Husky in July 1943 to the assault on the Winter Line in December 1943. These operations were the catalyst that led to not only the downfall of Mussolini’s new Roman Empire, but the protracted 22 months the Allies would subsequently undergo in a divided Italy. A future campaign supplement will explore the final 16 months of the campaign in Italy.
The campaign is presented in sections – each with extensive historical context along with a handful of scenarios to refight the most famed battles of this period of the war.
