If it’s a skirmish, it will perhaps reduce the number of forces you’ll encounter but it won’t make it any easier. To capture you need to take them all away before your forces can stroll in and liberate it. In its brief time under my stewardship, however, it was used to shell the towns my units were about to take in an effort to make the upcoming battle a smidge easier - or at least that was the plan.įor the towns and cities which don’t require a skirmish to take, any type of bombardment takes off one shield, or level of protection. I managed to lose one of my main battleships fairly early on as I pushed ahead too far and it was bombarded into submission. It’s no easy feat and this campaign is dynamic, so your choices matter and will affect how your forces fare. For a fuller and more challenging experience the Italian campaign not only sees you directing skirmishes but you also need to command your naval fleet, move your squads around as you attempt to take Rome and keep the British and US Commanders on-side. Its focus is on the story surrounding the Libyan city of Benghazi and Erwin Rommel of the German Afrika Korps.

The North African campaign is a more directed experience comprising six missions.

I was marginally successful in this mission, only losing a few units
