	La Grande Guerra: The Battle of Ortigara, June 1917
		Ortigara is often called "the Calvary of the Alpini" with its useless sacrifice of Italy's finest troops.
		Every attack was immediately countered; the resulting casualties surpassed what was typical of this war's terrible attrition- in the sardonic humor of the Italian soldati, "meat for the cannons." The Austrians were perfecting the recent Germanic concept of "storm troops," heavily armed infantry infiltrating the enemy's weaker areas, however scarce these places were on Ortigara.
		The Alpini were not so tactically advanced, but relied on their traditional courage and pride, wheeling their mountain artillery pieces into repeated attacks as direct fire weapons against Austrian strong points.
