In Italy, the fight continues! As the Allies push north up the Italian Peninsula, they have encountered heavy resistance from the Axis and their multitude of fortified and defensive lines, slowing the allied advance to a crawl. The 'soft underbelly' of Europe proved to be false, instead it was a 'tough gut'.

This supplement for Bolt Action, and the counterpart to Soft Underbelly, focuses on the battles ranging from the Gustav Line in 1944 all the way to those of the Gothic Line in 1945, with the breakouts at Anzio and Monte Cassino of particular focus. Containing a host of scenarios to refight these famous battles, along with new units, special rules, and Theatre Selectors, this book contains everything players need to bring an end to the war and liberate Italy.

Webstore Exclusive Book Miniature: One of the most endearing stories of the war was that of Wojtek the Bear – a Brown Bear cub adopted by Polish soldiers in Persia. Fed cigarettes and beer, Wojtek would march like a soldier and wrestle with his human friends. Legend has it that Wojtek carried crates of ammunition to his comrades during the battle at Cassino and for this effort he was promoted to the rank of Corporal. Now you can field Corporal Wojtek in your games of Bolt Action!
