SSG have created one of the most impressive wargames I've seen with Battle in Italy. The game has plenty of depth, quality AI and plenty of replay value. Seasoned wargamers will love what's on offer and thanks to a collection of well written tutorials everyone else can enjoy this hex-based classic.

Gamers Temple: 80%
Battles in Italy provides veteran war gamers with a detailed and challenging look at the invasion of Italy, but it’s not for the casual gamer

Computer Games Magazine- 4/5
SSG has really achieved something unique by creating a system that takes the traditional hex-based operational wargame about as far as it's going to go.
