You can't train new squads, but you can reinforce the ones you have. But the real key to success ended up being to loot every squad weapon in sight. I found the tactical pause feature to be really useful here, since every movement had to be fairly precisely coordinated. And just about every step of the way, you're going to be outgunned. Losing even one can be disastrous, since there is no way to replace them. That, fortunately, is something the DAK is very good at, since even their basic infantry know how to staple a car back together.

But they don't have much armor and are very vulnerable to anti-tank rifles and grenades, so I found that I really needed to use them for quick, hit-and-run attacks before falling back for repairs. if you prefer, are nimble and effective at suppressing infantry. It just won't be easy.These Sonderkraftfahrzeuge, or Sd.Kfz. You'll make a lot of choices that favor one over the others, and can even risk losing their support if you're not careful, but it is technically possible to keep everyone happy. A third voice in your ear comes in the shape of Valenti, an Italian partisan leader who you'll meet early on. This situation is based on real-life disputes between the Allied commanders in Italy, and trusting one over the other will unlock a different set of perks as well as impacting the flow of the narrative. FrienemiesĪll along the way, you'll be pulled in different directions by the rival US and British generals, Buckram and Norton, who are on the same side but have very different ideas about how to best execute the invasion. Working backwards from your main objective and figuring out step-by-step how to take apart the Axis frontline using all the available resources is a tricky puzzle. Not so fast, though! Coastal defenses can chew your boats up, so first you'll need to send in ground forces to take out the coastal batteries and clear the way. But if the airfield is also heavily defended, it might help to bring some ships into range for a naval bombardment. A strong defensive line might be vulnerable from the air, but you'll need to capture an airfield before you can really take advantage of that weakness. The key to success, I found, is a sort of combined arms leapfrogging strategy.
