Where do 'allied forces' start in the 'Grand' campaign Start?

Piercing Fortress Europa is a new game from veteran game designer Frank Hunter, which covers the campaigns of the Western Allies from July, 1943 through the end of April, 1945 in Sicily and Italy. Each area has its own map and time scale to best represent the campaigns for Sicily and Italy and the player is offered complete freedom, limited only by a historical order of battle and logistics model, to plan his operations and explore all of the many “what ifs” that the Italian theater has to offer.

Just wondering where the allies start in the main 'Italian Campaign'. Do they start on the Italian mainland or do you need to invade [:D]...?

They start in Messina. To get to the mainland they can either cross the straits or make amphibious landings at beaches along the coast. The latter costs sea invasion points which are purchased with supply and fuel points.
