About the Game

Flames of War: Cassino is about the Italian front from Januari till May 1944. It contains armylists, painting guides and background information about the battles that took place.

Armylists included in this book are:

Germans: 1. Fallschirmjägerkompanie 44. 'Hoc und Deutschmeister' Infanteriedivision 90. 'Sardinien' Panzergrenadierdivision

Allies: French Expeditionary Force (FEC) US 442nd Regimental Combat Team 'Nisei' US 41st Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron British 4th and 8th Indian Infantry Divisions British Ghurka assault troops British 4th New Zealand Armoured Brigade British 2nd New Zealand Infantry Division British 28th New Zealand 'Maori' Batallion

In addition to the army lists included, there is also a new escalation campaign system called "Infantry Aces" in which players have infantry units that gain experience from campaign battle to campaign battle, and each battle is fought in succession. There are 3 different escalation routes, The Liri Valley, the town of Cassino, and through the mountains.Each contains 3 battles, of 500, then 700, then 900 points.

To coincide with the release of this army book, new infantry miniatures are released that can be used by players as representatives of their "Infantry Aces" command teams.
