The Battle of Anzio was a battle of the Italian Campaign of World War II that took place from January 22, 1944 (beginning with the Allied amphibious landing known as Operation "Shingle") to June 5, 1944 (ending with the capture of Rome).
 The operation was opposed by German forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno.
 The operation was initially commanded by Major General John P. Lucas, of the U.S. Army, commanding U.S. VI Corps with the intention being to outflank German forces at the Winter Line and enable an attack on Rome.

Victory in the Pacific (VITP) is a board wargame published by the Avalon Hill game company in 1977.
 Based on the game system first used in "War at Sea", also published by Avalon Hill, the game deals with the Pacific Theater of Operations of World War II.
 A two-player game that can last up to five hours, each turn represents about six months, and units typically represent armies, air forces, and capital ships (aircraft carriers, battleships, battlecruisers, heavy cruisers, and light cruisers) of the United States Navy, Royal Navy, Dutch Navy, and Imperial Japanese Navy.
Anzio is a board wargame published by the Avalon Hill game company first in 1969 and again in 1971, 1974, and 1978.
 The title is misleading as the game is not an operational-level treatment of the Battle of Anzio but is in fact a strategic level game covering the entire Italian theater of operations in World War II from the autumn of 1943 to the end of the war in Europe.
Close Action is a naval board wargame published by Clash of Arms in 1997 and designed by Mark A. Campbell.
 The game replicates naval warfare of the 18th and early 19th centuries.
 The game was inspired by and shares superficial similarities to the Avalon Hill game "Wooden Ships and Iron Men" ("WS&IM").
 It was created chiefly in response to perceived errors in the simulation found in "WS&IM".
Battle of the Bulge is a board wargame published by Avalon Hill as part of the "Smithsonian American History Series".
 The game simulates the World War II battle of the same name and is designed for two players.
 It is based upon the general Avalon Hill system of "combat" and "movement" factors with a focus upon ease of play.
 The basic rules cover a single sheet of approximately legal-sized paper.
Afrika Korps is a two-player wargame published by the Avalon Hill Game Company in 1963-1964 and re-released in 1965 and 1977.

Storm Over Arnhem (1981) is a board wargame designed by Courtney F. Allen, published by the Avalon Hill game company, and depicts the battle for Arnhem bridge over the Lower Rhine river during Operation Market Garden in World War II.
 This battle was fought between elements of the British 1st Airborne Division and elements of the German Bocholt Battalion and 9th and 10th SS Panzer Divisions.
 The plan was for the airborne forces to seize and hold the Arnhem bridge for two days, before being relieved by the British XXX Corps.
 However, Operation Market Garden failed in numerous places, and the airborne troops were never relieved.
 They did however achieve more than their objective by capturing and holding the northern end of the Arnhem Bridge with some 700+ men for four days.
