Description
The Italian Campaign: Salerno drops you into the midst of World War II, where you'll take on the role of either the Allied or Axis powers, vying for control of the Italian peninsula. This 2-player game, designed by John Schettler and first published in 1992, is a wargame that's all about strategic maneuvering on a hexagon grid. With a playtime of around 240 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the action, making key decisions that will determine the outcome of the battle. The rules are straightforward, making it easy for board game enthusiasts to pick up, and the game's complexity is just right - challenging but not overwhelming. As the first in a series, The Italian Campaign: Salerno sets the stage for further adventures, including the expansion The Italian Campaign: Med War, and is a great starting point for anyone looking to dive into this fascinating period of history.
