"In one blood-soaked, furious week of
fighting, from December 20 to December 27,
1943, the 1st Canadian Infantry Division took
Ortona, Italy, from elite German paratroopers
ordered to hold the medieval port town at all
costs." (Zuehlke 1999)
This book of 37 skirmish scenarios is taken
directly from Mark Zuehlke's book, Ortona,
and it chronicles Canada's most epic World
War II victory.
