The Battle for Monte Cassino was offered as a simple stock CFS3 mission and was redone once as "ANR440119Cassino" back in 2005. However, I was always disappointed with the location, size and destruction level of the tiny Abbey. And with its placement at 300 feet above the glacial-carved valley floor, it did not accurately represent the 1,750 foot elevation of the actual Monastery. Nor did CFS3 allow for the total destruction of the adjacent towns at the foot on the Mount. In fact, there are no global towns located below the escarpment. There were four battles for this Position between 4 January and 19 May, 1944. This was part of the Italian Invasion which comprised the taking of Naples (not on the CFS3 map), and the landing at Anzio. All battles of which were called "The Road to Rome".
