Bolt Action: Campaign – Italy: Tough Gut
The Campaign – Tough Gut focuses on the fighting of the first five months of the invasion of mainland Italy in 1943/44. Dealing with the landings and breakout from Anzio beachhead, the bitter fighting on the Gustav Line, and the legendary battles for Monte Cassino, this book is a must-have for anyone looking to re-fight these oft-underappreciated but strategically crucial battles on the Bolt Action tabletop.
Extra Rules
There are plenty of new and revised special rules and pieces of equipment to be
found in Tough Gut, allowing you to tailor your forces specifically to the
Italian campaign. From the early-model Panzerfaust 30 anti-tank weapons to
flash suppressors for your machine guns, and many more besides, there’s a
whole bunch of ways to subtly (or not-so-subtly) tweak your existing troops, or
inspire a new force.
Long-time players will be delighted to learn that Gebirgsjäger now receive the Mountain Warriors special rule (as well they might!), while the Forza d’Animo national special rule sees Italian forces become much more aggressive on the tabletop. Generic units such as Chaplains and the frankly terrifying Forward Observer (Super-Heavy) become available to all nations, alongside a selection of equipment and fortifications.
