From Salerno to Rome allows you to simulate the first ten months of the military campaign in Italy during WWII, from the landing in Salerno (September ’43) to the liberation of Rome (June ’44). The game starts with the American 5th army that has just landed in Salerno and the British 8th army advancing in Apulia, while the Axis powers gather their forces to hit with a powerful counter-offensive one of the two allied armies…
This is a very fluid playing game with lots of detail and some really interesting challenges for both sides. We enjoyed this one immensely and would have added it into our Top 10 Wargames of 2020! list had we had a bit more time with it and another play.

A great game this one, with other exciting looking titles planned from the same designer – rest of the Italy campaign and the assault on Sicily.
By the way, have you guys checked out Vuca Sims lately? Crossing the Line is reprinting with a mounted map and there are two follow up titles (available / planned), Bug River and Gazala that look awesome: https://vucasims.com/collections/available-games
I thought you’d be interested noting you’re keen to highlight the achievements of smaller publishers. Keep up the great content.

I actually posted an interview covering Bug River a few months ago and will have a copy coming from the publisher soon. Their games are very well done.
