The
Caporetto update brings the first map in a new Offensive - Isonzo’s signature
game mode, where players fight through multiple different maps to determine who
wins or loses the overall Offensive. The German Offensive will have three maps,
focused on the momentous Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo, also known as the Battle
of Caporetto. Historically this was a disaster for the Italians, as a combined
German and Austro-Hungarian attack broke through Italian lines and forced them
to retreat more than 100 kilometers.
Caporetto is the titular map in the Caporetto season of free updates, with two
more to follow later. It’s set on a rainy autumn day, with German attackers
attempting to break through a small town and storm increasingly steep hillside
positions as they aim to conquer the strategically important peak of Hill 1114.
The Italian defenders must use ruined buildings and multiple lines of trenches
and bunkers to try and delay the attack long enough for it to lose
momentum.
