"With Sicily in Allied hands, Italy has been invaded and has dropped out of the war. The Germans have taken over the defense of Italy and, aided by the rugged Italian terrain, have stalled the Allied advance, allowing the bulk of the Wehrmacht's troops to maintain the Eastern front. The Allies must take the historic monastery of Monte Cassino to break the German defenses. In an effort to outflank their enemies, the Allies have planned an amphibious landing at Anzio to threaten the heart of Italy: Rome. Land at Anzio and break out past Monte Cassino to take Rome."

Walkthrough

This mission is another large scale tank match. Start by building up your base to full capacity, then building six divisions of Heavy Tanks. Make sure you have all of the technology upgrades for them too, since they're going to need all the help they can get. I recommend not bothering with any airfields, since they aren't all that helpful for how much ammo/supplies they suck in.
Once you have the six Heavy Tank divisions and enough ammo/fuel depots to run them, start picking away at the defenses guarding the exits of your base. The computer-controlled ally you have will likely help you a great deal with that, and it's even more likely to help you a great deal later on in the mission.
Once you've broken out of your base, head to Rome at the top of the screen and take control of it (if your computer friend hasn't already done so). Next, start making a supply chain that stretches all the way down to the entrance to Anzio in the south-west. You should also build more buildings so you can get three more Heavy Tank divisions.
All that's left to do is blast the crap out of Anzio, and believe me, there will be plenty of it to blast. Let your allied buddy send whatever it has in there first, then send your stuff in wave after wave after wave until you destroy the place. When you reach 1800 experience points in the upper-left of your screen, use the Carpet Bombing special operation to blast a large section of the base. It might take you a while, but eventually, you'll wipe out the pile of units in the town and win the mission.
