"Eternal City's End: The Battle for Rome, September 1943" is a solitaire or two player World War II wargame, designed by Roberto Chiavini, that portrays a series of “what ifs” based upon the historical situation following the Italian Armistice that was signed September 8th, 1943. Starting from the historical positions of the Italian and German formations, one player, as the Italian, must try to save Rome from falling into German hands before the arrival of American paratrooper reinforcements to support them in rescuing the Eternal City from Nazi occupation. This wargame can also be played with a German opponent, or from the German perspective as an alternative solitaire play wargame trying to secure the Eternal City before the arrival of the American paratroopers. Historically, the Germans declared Rome to be an “open city” after the surrender of their former Italian ally.
