Old School Tactical Volume 4: For the Empire (Expansion)

New Zealand was in the thick of the action from the beginning. The Kiwis fought bravely in the Balkans and Greece, the battle for Crete and were a key force in the North African campaign.

The New Zealanders came to Italy with the same amount of fight. Among the many battles they faced, they were tasked with a difficult struggle to take the fortress at Monte Cassino.

The Canadian Navy fought vigorously in the battle for the North Atlantic, but the army was static, stationed in the British Isles. But they were itching to get into the scrap.
