FH2 Campaign #15: Africa & Italia 

Operation Husky


"In the early part of 1943, following the realization that a invasion of France would be impossible that year, it was decided to use the troops from the recently won North African Campaign to invade the Italian island of Sicily. The strategic goals were to remove the island as a base for Axis shipping and aircraft, allowing free passage for Allied ships in the Mediterranean and to put pressure on Italy to eventually knock them out of the war. On the morning of July 10th, Allied forces assaulted the beaches between Licata and Cassibile. Map by HERO-war_3k. Modified by FHT Mapping Team. "

Gela


"The amphibious Battle of Gela was the opening engagement of the United States portion of the Allied Invasion of Sicily. The transports started unloading shortly after midnight, and General Guzzoni declared an emergency at 01:00. The first assault wave from Barnett, Lyon, Thurston and Stanton landed about 02:45. After sunrise, minesweepers began clearing mines near the beach so the LSTs could start landing vehicles at 08:00, and the battle began in earnest. Map created by WaW, modified by Papillon "

FH2 Campaign #15: Africa & Italia 

Monte La Difensa


"Shortly after its arrival in late November, the 1st Special Service Force received its initial mission. Looming over Fifth Army's front, the twin peaks of Monte La Difensa and Monte La Rementanea presented formidable barriers to the Allied advance into the Liri River Valley. It took 5 days heavy fighting for the Camino hill mass to be cleared. Casualties were high.
After losing the 3,000-foot La Difensa to this surprise attack from Frederick, Germans counter attacked and fought ferociously for regaining the control of this strategic Hill. "

Gothic Line


"The Battle of Gemmano was part of the Allies' Operation Olive, the offensive in August 1944 on the Gothic Line, the German line of defence in the Apennines in northern Italy. It consisted of a series of four British attacks between 4 September to 15 September 1944, on the German defences in and around the village of Gemmano. The village itself was taken on 9 September during the second attack, two more actions being required to take the surrounding area. Fighting was heavy, and the Battle of Gemmano has been called the Cassino of the Adriatic by some historians. FH1 port created by Kwiot. "
