Briefing
UP THE BLOODY BOOT The Allied attempt to Liberate Rome Date: Sept. 1943 - June 1944 Location: Italy Map scale: 5km per hex Time scale: Half-week turns Unit scale: Battalion/Regiment/Division Length: 80 Turns Created 02 Mar 98 Last updated 0000 08 Jan 99 (Ver 1.05.31.05) UNIT COLORS: ALLIED FORCES British: Dk Blue on Brown Canadian: White on Brown Free French: Blue on Blue French Colonial: Grey on Blue Indian: Green on Brown New Zealand: Grey on Lt Green Polish: Blue on Brown South African: Black on Lt Green United States: White on Green Joint US/Cdn Special Service Force Green on Tan Reentry point for Allied units is in Salerno @ location 38,67 (see update information in the 1.04 readme file) Supply distance = 6 locations AXIS FORCES German Army: Grey on Grey Luftwaffe: Dk Blue on Lt Blue Italian: Yellow on White Reentry point for the Axis forces is in Valmontone @ location 25,27 (see update information in the 1.04 readme file) Supply distance = 2 locations SIGNIFICANT EVENTS: Railroad repair/destruction rules are in effect for the Allies. The Allies have a 33% chance of damaging rail lines and may automaticly repair up to 10 locations per turn. Railroad reapair/destruction rules are in effect for the Axis. The Axis have a 66% chance of damaging rail lines and may automaticly repair up to 5 location per turn. ***************************** Operation "Avalanche" was the Allies' name for the planned invasion of Italy. The boldest of eight different plans for the invasion of Italy concentrated at the seaport of Salerno. This critical part of the campaign and the German stubborn defense set the tone for the next nine months of fighting. The Germans under Kesselring fell back upon one fortified position after another. Names like the Reinhold Line, Volturno-Biferno Line, Gustav Line, Cassino and Anzio would be burned into the souls and minds of Allied troops as they fought over some of the most well defended and mountainous terrain of the war. Scenario design by: John E. Cross & John L. Underwood Jr. Update Comments This scenario is not as updated as I would have preferred. Some of the biggest changes in the program came late in the testing for 1.05. I have updated this scenario with many of the suggestions offered by those that have e-mailed me with ideas and problems. I'm planning on futher updates later. As always, I appreciate ALL comment, pro or con. Please feel free to e-mail me (JCWargamer@aol.com) with any comments. I also wish to thank all of you that took the time and effort to offer suggestions. They are extremely helpful and helped me design better scenarios overall. Trying to update this scenario fully, with the vast number of improvements in 1.05.31 is very difficult. I am working on a new Italy scenario; built from the ground up with all the improvements up to 1.05.31. I want to thank you in advance for your patients. I would be delighted to share what I have to date (on Italy 43-45) to anyone that would offer a critique. Please drop me a line ANY time.
