Battle of the Bracchi Hills - On the Road to Rome 1944

BATTLE OF THE BRACCHI HILLS—On the Road to Rome 1944 is a detailed new VARIANT Historical Module for owners of Beyond Valor and Yanks that tells the story of the Battle for Rome from the perspective of the 351st Infantry Regiment, 88th Division, the American soldiers tasked with cracking the mighty Gustav Line. Their mission was to break the German stranglehold on the ‘Mount Bracchi Triangle’, a wedge of hills dominated by enemy spandaus and mortars and open the road to Rome. The fight would be slow and bloody, with each German machine-gun nest needing to be eradicated before the next leap of a few yards forward could be accomplished. The rolling countryside and even slopes afforded Nazi soldiers superb positions from which to site their weapons and rain murderous fire on anything that moved.
