Anzio 1944 @2km - Version 3.2
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2025 8:08 pm
Current scenario version: 3.2
Playable as PBEM or Human vs. PO (Programmed Opponent - either side)
Date: Jan. 22nd – Feb. 18th, 1944
Location: Anzio, Italy
Map Scale: 2 km per hex*
Time Scale: 12 hour turns per turn
Unit Scale: Battalion
Length: 25 - 60 turns
Max. Rounds per Battle: 3
Attrition Divider: 28
Naval Attrition Divider: 120
Combat Density Penalty: 90
Supply Cost for Movement: 80
Readiness Cost for Movement: 80
Entrenchment Rate: 70
*The scenario uses a special equipment file with adjusted artillery and aircraft ranges.
Further updates will follow with a future TOAW patch. I plan to implement the force hierachy module to the scenario for which it is a perfect candidate as the Germans fielded a lot of thrown together Kampfgruppen and Divisional HQs commanded conglomerates of various units from different divisions in the early days of the battle.

Changes in version 3.2:
- German Coastal Artillery now uses the Fixed Artillery icon with a Naval secondary icon. This was necessary as the Coastal Artillery icon did not allow bombardment of land targets despite the units having been assigned a secondary ‘regular’ artillery icon. These units were not typical coastal artillery batteries with a limited firing angle as you might have found i.e. on the Atlantic wall. They used regular artillery pieces and were thus also employed against land targets in the beachhead. The Naval icon as a secondary unit icon allows employing them against Allied shipping as with the standalone coastal artillery icon. Thanks to LLv34_Snefens for coming up with this workaround.
- Major redraw of the map road network, added more minor settlements, made the road Ardea – Osteriacchia a minor road by inserting gaps every other hex. The road had been labeled as “nicht immer befahrbar” (not always passable) according to Deutsche Heereskarte 1:100.000 (1943) while most secondary sources’ maps depicted it as a normal road. (I highlight this as this road is in an operationally critical sector)
- Set Attrition Divider to 28
- Set German movement bias to 125
- Set Allied movement bias to 125 on turn 3 (lower movement bias during the first two turns to represent the circumstances of an amphibious landing)
- Added Anti-Air range to German 8.8cm and 3.7cm Flak and to Allied 90mm and 40mm AA guns
- Updated Br. 1st Infantry Divisions’s HQ TO&E (added military police squads among other things)
Yes, though i have been lurking and reading from time to time. Good to see you still working on and dedicated to updating TOAW
