Gamers Temple: 80%
Battles in Italy provides veteran war gamers with a detailed and challenging look at the invasion of Italy, but it’s not for the casual gamer

Computer Games Magazine- 4/5
SSG has really achieved something unique by creating a system that takes the traditional hex-based operational wargame about as far as it's going to go.

Game-Boyz Player Choice
Overall, I would say this game is one of the finest WW2 turn based strategy games on the market today.
