Information

"Following the decision of the Italian government to negotiate a surrender to the Allies in 1943, the German Army tried to disarm the Italians during Operation Achse. On 13 September the Italians of the Acqui resisted, and fought the Germans on the island of Cephalonia. By 22 September the last of the Italian resistance surrendered after running out of ammunition"

*This Side Mission is based on a real life event known as the "Massacre of the Acqui Division".


It is the 17th of September and the Italian 33rd Infantry Division "Acqui" have held the town of Livadia from an initial attack the 15th of September, where we managed to capture up to 300 POWs of war. We have received a report that the Germans have landed Battle Group Hirschfeld composed of Elite divisions.

We have had limited artillery since we were garrisoned but we do have a 105mm available to hold off the Germans.

It is our duty to the Empire that we shall hold our ground.

Sempre Avanti Italia!
