[desk11desk12]

Over the last year guess which releases depict this campaign.

Hint: The USA M7 Priest “Texas Special” is one of them.

No big announcement yet they are there.

Would these include the Japanese American artillery unit and the African American anti-aircraft set since both groups fought in Italy and were written about by Margaret Bourke-White in her book about the Italian campaign: "They Called It Purple Heart Valley"?

Allied troops, every possible nationality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

e.g. Juin's French colonial troops pushing the Germans back to the right flank of Casino, US Texas Division, Poles on Castle Hill at Cassino, New Zealanders in Cassino town, 8th Army, 5th Army etc etc etc

But can anyone sculpt Mark Clark's nose properly? Possibly my 'favourite General'

Oh, and a few Germans.........

Maybe next year's shock and awe could be the complete Cassino Town, hill and Monastery? Time for my tablets again.

Now those are some nice ideas. Also, how about smiling General Albert Kesselring. He did so much with so little in defending their turf in Italy or was it Gen. Clark's lack of leadership imagination?

Ha! maybe that is the next question we debate when we meet again?

Personally I think it was both. Oh, and a few big rocks, the Apennines. I am afraid Churchill should take some kudos as well. And the Allied high command, and the weather, my agent, my former drama teacher - oops, wrong forum.
