![]() They’ll need to sabotage bunkers and capture command posts while navigating rocky trenches and steep forested slopes. From there, it becomes a literal uphill battle for the German attackers as they begin to climb towards the peak of Kolovrat Ridge. Fortunately, in Isonzo there are many tactical options available to deal with such strong points: artillery barrages, smokescreens, snipers, rifle grenades, even poison gas. It’s a damp, overcast day when the attack begins, and the attackers must first cut their way through lines of wire to break into a devastated town – including capturing a church defended by multiple heavy machine gun positions. While in the historical Battle of Caporetto both German and Austro-Hungarian forces were involved, in Isonzo we’ve chosen to focus on the German contribution, so the map recreates the stunning German advance from the town of Tolmein all the way to Kolovrat Ridge. There are five defensive lines, where each line has two objectives for the attackers before they can advance further. The new Caporetto map – the first of three in the season – is a huge battlefield based on the strategically important Monte Kolovrat. Objectives can be taking and holding key points, or planting dynamite to sabotage enemy supply stashes or heavy artillery guns. ![]() Thick layers of barbed wire, trenches, and whatever extra defenses the enemy engineers put together will stand in the way of a successful attack. In Isonzo’s signature Offensive game mode, one side must attack and break through multiple defensive lines. Every class has choices to make in this regard. You could be a long-range sniper and observer identifying and eliminating high value targets with a scoped rifle, or you could equip body armor to take and hold a front line position with deadly accurate mid-range fire. For instance, Marksmen are always sharpshooters, but a lot depends on your loadout. For those who aren’t familiar with the game, each class has different weapon, gear and perk options that allow you to specialize your play style within the overall focus of the class. The update sees new uniforms and equipment from the German Empire for Isonzo’s six classes: Rifleman, Assault, Engineer, Officer, Marksman and Mountaineer. Historically it was a military disaster for Italy which brought down the government – but maybe things can go differently with you on the battlefield? This first Caporetto map sees you taking part in the early stages of the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo, with German troops assaulting Italian positions on the road to Caporetto. The German faction comes with more than ten new weapons, as well as historically accurate uniforms and equipment. There will be two more releases in the Caporetto season, each one with a new map to ultimately link together into a three map Caporetto Offensive. Moreover, this battle would start with an advantage because the Italians had already succeeded in advancing towards the top of Monte Sabotino another height above Gorizia and Italian sappers had built several tunnels behind the emplacements of the Austro-Hungarian troops there.We have a new expansion for our WW1 Italian Front FPS game Isonzo releasing today! It’s the first part of our Caporetto season of free expansions, and features a whole new faction with the arrival of the German Empire on the Italian Front, and brings a new map for the Offensive game mode. ![]() The bombardment would be followed by ground action to obtain control of the left bank of the Isonzo. They planned a heavy bombardment in a very restricted zone between Monte Calvario and Monte San Michele – two heights overlooking the city. Italian Chief-of-Staff Luigi Cadorna turned his attention to the Isonzo front and particularly, the city of Gorizia. Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf had reduced the Austro-Hungarian forces along the Soča front to reinforce his Trentino Offensive and also to assist with the defense of the Russian Brusilov Offensive then taking place on the eastern front. The Sixth Battle of the Isonzo also known as the Battle of Gorizia was the most successful Italian offensive along the Soča River during World War I.
