Now, let’s take a closer look at the Marmolada map.
The Marmolada map
For Marmolada in Isonzo, the Italians will be the attacking side, which means the Austro-Hungarians will be defending the mountain and their Ice City. Starting off, the Italians will be placed on the mountain side in the open, surrounded by snow. They need to advance up the mountain, towards the top. But to get there, they first need to make their way through small tunnels and gullies carved out from the mountain’s rock, and cross narrow trails. These can easily become death traps and opportunities for close combat, so get those ice picks ready.
As said, the first objective for the Italians will be the mountain top. Here they need to capture the objective. But this won’t be an easy task. The peak is not that large and the Austro-Hungarians will charge up from the other side. Potentially, the Officer’s call-in can make or break the objective, be sure to strategize and work together as a team!
If the Italians succeed and capture their first objective, they make their way to the Ice City. Before they get there, they need to get through some snow-made trench-like areas to get entrance to the glacial tunnels.
Once inside, the task will be to make it through the maze-like corridors of the Ice City, without getting lost and/or killed in close combat with the enemy. As unlike the previous objective, call-in support from the Officers won’t be of any help here. There will be bridges and staircases to cross, of which the former can be built (and destroyed), which might be a difficult task when enemies can come from various directions.
If the Italians soldiers were able to make it out of the Ice City, they’ll find their next objective. A small base in a similar small area, covered by snow walls. Wooden huts are spread out, providing some cover, but also an opportunity for the enemy to hide inside before making their move. This is another capture objective, which will surely provide some interesting combat. Smoke around the area combined with soldiers coming from the glacial tunnels will be an exciting combination. Will the Italians conquer the city or will the Austro-Hungarians remain the sole citizens?
Your Trip to the Ice City begins soon
That’s it for now! We hope this provided you with the intel you need to prepare you for your battle in White War! We’ll see you on November 9th on top of the mountain and/or in the glacial tunnels!
