Italy ’43 \u2013 Military Strategy Board Game in World War ’II<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Italy ’43 board game is a military strategy board game that accurately recreates the campaign of the U.S. 5th Army during World War ’II in Italy. Designed by Mark Simonitch and published by GMT Games, the game continues chronologically from Salerno ’43, covering the period from 2 October to 31 December 1943, with the mission of advancing from Naples to the Gustav Line.<\/p>\n

The Italy ’43 wargame includes four different scenarios: Across the Volturno, The Barbara Line, The Mignano Gap and the full Campaign Game.
