 ===== Prelude =====
-After a shockingly swift Confederate victory over English remnants in Nova Scotia, and, after a flaccid attempt to decisively alter the tide of battle in and around Greece, Confederate intman generals decided to alter the course of the Greco-Turkish War by depriving the Greeks of their wealthiest and most technologically advanced ally, Italy. Because the Confederate States of America had alliances with both Turkey and Italy, flag war was off the table. The only realistic way to assault Rome was to insert an armored strike force into the Italian capital, in an attempt to take out the Roman chest room, and / or spawncamp the Romans.

 ===== Phase I: Crossing The Alps =====

 ===== Phase II: Roof Italians =====
-An intense urban battle developed. The Confederates primarily occupied the streets, while the Italians used Rome's extensive network of roofs and ledges in order to drop Molotov cocktails (which was hastily mass produced by the Italians during the fighting) and take shots at the invaders. Extensive use of grenades and flamethrowers was seen. Confederate tanks continued to pummel the Italian base, at one point allowing for the Confederates to briefly fire shotguns into the Italian spawn room. However, Confederate numbers were eventually reduced throughout the fighting. After the loss of their tanks to Molotovs, the streets began to be openly contested. This resulted in a reassertion of Italian control over the center of Rome, with fighting developing around the docks and near the northern entrance.

 Some insertions within different parts of the city were attempted to push the Italians off the streets. However, with numbers and interest dwindling, and Italian resistance ever growing, the operation fizzled out.
