On the night of July 9-10, 1943, the largest amphibious operation of World War II began, in terms of the landing zone's size and the number of divisions put ashore on the first day, in order to take the island from the Axis forces and thereby pave the way for an invasion of mainland Italy.
From July 9th (13:00 UTC) to July 15th (13:00 UTC), you can get rewards for completing tasks.
Rewards
For completing 8 out of the 12 tasks, you will receive a unique Italian Machine Gunner II alternative squad, and for 10 completed tasks, a unique British Radio operator II alternative squad.
Alternative squads function similarly to normal squads, except that they represent the nations not available in the research tree for that specific class. They don't have personnel (red) and workshop (yellow) upgrades, because they come with normal soldiers and weapons that you can change anytime. Vehicle squads however don't come with vehicles.
