For the sake of simplicity action starts on the day Anzio landings too place. Historically first attacks against Gustav Line started couple of days earlier.
Certain divisions saw action both in Cassino and Anzio, in this campaign they appear only in one place to avoid mid-game relocations.
Certain special forces units are excluded from the scenario to keep the number of unit icons within tolerable limits.
Couple of divisions are represented as British to keep the number of unit icons within tolerable limits.
Some slightly incorrect military-history terms (like Fort for minor dugouts) are used simply because they are short (map won't be flooded with long text tags) and these terms are known to even non-native English speakers.
