Ironfall

Italy: Nov 1, 1941 Italy, under Benito Mussolini, is a crucial Axis power but is struggling under the weight of the war. The invasion of North Africa and the Balkans has stretched Italian forces thin, and public support for the regime is waning. Rome is the heart of Mussolini’s fascist regime, with propaganda glorifying Italy’s military might and promises of Martian tech advances. However, Italian scientists lag behind Germany in the race to integrate Martian technology. The Resistance is growing, particularly in the northern regions, where Allied forces are secretly aiding guerilla fighters. Mussolini’s alliance with Hitler is increasingly fragile as Italy faces internal strife and military defeats. Key Story Hooks: Resistance sabotage, Axis infighting, Allied support for guerilla movements, espionage in Rome, political instability within Mussolini’s regime.
