Avalanche: The Struggle for Italy

This wargame takes it’s name from Allied actions during the second World War.
Operation Avalanche was the landing of Allied forces on the west coast of
mainland Italy in 1943. Accordingly, this is the scenario the game uses. The
computer can be set to control either the Allied, German, or no side, and
various additional settings with respect to historical circumstances (for
example the loyalty of Italian forces to each side) can be made.

The main game takes place on a single, scrolling map. Units are represented by
icons with no single scale (for instance, a tank icon can represent a division
as well as a brigade). The gameplay structure itself consists of various
phases, such as air (reconnaissance and attacks), order (for e.g. movement
actions) and combat. The latter is used to calculate the results of
engagements.
