Steel Division 2 - Tribute to the Liberation of Italy (AppID: 1640470)

Steel Division 2: Tribute to the Liberation of Italy is the latest in-depth historical expansion, putting a spotlight on the fighting forces of an important but often unsung World War II theater of war: the Italian campaign.

Summer 1944: the Italian peninsula north of Rome. Once again, the advance of the Allies is checked by hardy Axis defenders, this time on the imposing Gothic line. The redeployment of various key Allied divisions to France sees a lull in fighting, with both sides planning their next moves.

For the Western Allies, this means fresh blood, both from reorganized formations and news Allied nations recently joining the cause. For the Axis, it is to reinforce their battered divisions - in whatever way possible. While the Gothic Line wouldn’t be breached until March 1945, the heavy combat around it would be a baptism of fire for all soldiers involved.
