From Salerno to Rome - Part One

Seems like another week and Richard is able to provide another new innovative boardgame based on some 20th Century conflict.  This one really is new and is from an Italian company.  The map as you can see is a work of art.  Only ten turns (each being a month), but each consisting of variable number of impulses depending on how each side spends its activation points which are required to move and fight with formations (division, represented by brigades, regiments and/or battalions).  The artillery rules are very innovative and can either do bombardments or tactical support or interdiction.

End of the first impulse when we discovered you can't be on Reserve adjacent to an enemy unit.

End of the second impulse, west coast.
82nd Airborne has landed to help secure the breakout.

While on the east coast the British 1st Airborne had some real luck in seizing Foggia.

The Germans have decided to pull back 
now that their units that were guarding the tip of Italy have arrived.

The forth and additional impulses will really be dependent on remaining activity points.  Each side has a few left, but not enough to activate everything.  Decisions to be made!
