About Anzio, Battle of Monte Cassino
Anzio & Monte Cassino is a turn based strategy game modeling the Allied advance on the Italian peninsula during the Second World War. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011. Latest update October 2025.
You are in command of the Allied forces attempting to seize Rome by piercing the German Gustav Line at Monte Cassino to link up with the American forces in the Anzio beachhead. If you balance speed and risk just right, you can cut off a huge number of Axis units by connecting your two groups and then launch an offensive against the Italian capital, or you can frustratingly get bogged down in the middle of the Italian mountains and rivers.
"Anzio was a gamble that didn't come off."
- General Dwight D. Eisenhower
FEATURES:
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup.
+ Competitive: Measure your strategy game skills against others fighting for the Hall of Fame top spots.
+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of houses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.
+ Good AI: Instead of just attacking on direct line towards the target, the AI opponent balances between strategic goals and smaller tasks like encircling nearby units.
In order to be a victorious general, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.
Join fellow strategy gamers in maneuvering through this complex WWII campaign!
"At Anzio, we lived in mud and water up to our ankles. We slept in holes in the ground. We were constantly bombarded by artillery and mortar fire."
