Historical Background:
Tobacco Factory

13 sept 1943: Around the Salerno beachhead, many desperate battles were fought. The fighting over the tobacco factory symbolizes the intensity of this fighting. Consisting of five large, red, fortress-like stone buildings, the tobacco factory (Tabacchificio Fiocche) commanded the roads and Sele river crossings near Persano, thus controlling principal German supply and escape routes in this sector of the beachhead.
The tobacco factory was like a revolving door: after first being attacked on September 11 by Americans, it changed hands twice the following day before coming under American control. On Sept.13 the Germans launched a strong counterattack to recapture the tobacco factory, blocking any Allied advance further inland ... and maybe gaining the access to the road to the beach again.

The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
