Tasks for Allies:
1.) Destroy bridges between Gustav and Gothic line. Each bridge is 1 VP. Each destruction will be counted only once. On this task it is possible to collect 45 VP. Take a look at Allied bridge target table.

All Italian big ships captured after capitulation of Italian Army (ship south of Gothic line*) are counted as lost VP for Axis side. Minelayers, patrol boats, German destroyers and German subs are excluded from this.
Total points that can be collected on this task is 5 6+ VP

*South of Gothic lines means horizontal line from the point where marked Gothic line touch the sea (AJ40k9 and AU41k9) on either side of Italy.
**To achieve breakthrough condition, Allied side need to capture 2 of 5 CPs in Gustav line zone. CPs counted in this are Ortona , Castel Di Sangro, Sorr a Pass, Monte Cassino, Gaeta Pass.
Victory conditions will be made by difference in victory points which could be collected trough various attacking actions like CPs, docks, bridges, ships, factories, collecting bonuses etc..
