Beschreibung

Salerno '43 ist ein Expertenspiel für Erwachsene und Jugendliche. Es simuliert die alliierte Invasion Italiens 1943 auf Regiment- und Brigadestufe. Spieler steuern britische, amerikanische und deutsche Divisionen in einem strategischen Kampf um den Erhalt des Brückenkopfes bei Salerno.

Salerno ’43 is a regiment and brigade-level wargame depicting the Allied invasion of mainland Italy in September 1943. Two British and two American divisions land in the Bay of Salerno, facing the full-strength 16th Panzer Division, which is soon reinforced by five additional German mechanized divisions. For eight intense days, the survival of the beachhead hangs in the balance, prompting emergency reinforcements from the 82nd Airborne Division. After halting a German counter-attack and with the British Eighth Army advancing from the south, the Germans withdraw their left flank to avoid encirclement, while their right flank stubbornly holds the British advance north toward Naples. The game uses the same map, unit types, and time scale as Normandy ’44, allowing for a direct comparison of these two pivotal invasions. Salerno ’43 employs a modified version of the Normandy ’44 system and features a smaller size, making it easier to learn and quicker to play. Salerno ’43 includes two scenarios: an 8-turn Invasion Scenario and a 24-turn Campaign Game. In the Campaign Game, the Allies strive to exit the northern map edge by the end of September 1943, while the Germans aim to delay their advance long enough to complete the Gustav Line defenses further north. The shorter 8-turn scenario can be completed in an afternoon. Scale:

• Time scale: 1 day per turn
• Map scale: 3.8 km per hex
• Unit scale: regiment, brigade, and battalion-sized units
