Flames of War FW278 Liberation of Italy Reference Book For Sale

The Allied push up the boot of Italy had come to a dramatic halt outside the small Italian town of Cassino. Looming above the battlefield stood a large Benedictine monastery, which commanded the approach up the Liri Valley toward Rome. Over eight months the Allied and German armies attacked and counterattacked each other with heavy losses and little gain. Even with the landing at Anzio, where the Germans responded with a ferocious assault in a bloody but unsuccessful counterattack, little headway was made. The Allies amassed what reserves they could for a final attempt to break the deadlock at Cassino, connect with the bridgehead at Anzio, and claim the prize of Rome. The Road to Rome was long and hard, but many more battles would eventually lead beyond Rome to the very borders of the German Reich. \"GOLDEN TICKET\" Eight copies, spread randomly to FLGS across the world, will contain a Golden Ticket.
