Two missions are set in Italy. The first, inspired by Operation Husky, takes place in the fictitious town of Adani in Sicily, and sees the Italian Black Shirts fight the German infantry soldiers. The mission objectives are to destroy the enemy’s anti-aircraft artillery and kill three German commanders stationed in the mayor’s house. The backdrop of Adani does not feature any points of reference linking it to real places in Sicily. The streets in the town do nonetheless seem to be inspired by those of small rural towns of the region: the streets are paved with light-coloured cobblestones, are flanked by ceramic items such as vases and earthenware jars, and we even see a few olive trees dotted around the place. The second mission is instead set in the ruins of Paestum, an ancient city of Magna Grecia founded in honour of Poseidon, Hera and Athena, located in what is now the province of Salerno. The mission objectives are to destroy the radio and supply stations of the enemy.

First-person shooter
The eleventh instalment in the series of shooters set during the Second World War. This time the protagonist is Boyd Travers, a solider from the 82nd Airborne Division, which specialises in parachute assaults. The distinctive feature of this instalment is that it doesn’t give the player a set starting location for each mission, but leaves it up to the player to choose where to land to engage the enemy. The settings in the game recreate real and fictitious towns in Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
