Monte Grappa is a climb. Flags run from the valley forts up the mountain to the summit emplacements, with heavy artillery guns at several of them that players can crew. Vehicles are light; the map is infantry and artillery, with aircraft having a lot of sky to work in. The Behemoth is the Airship L30, which hangs over the slopes and bombs the forts.
As the first map of Iron Walls, Austria-Hungary attacks up the mountain before the Operation moves to Empire’s Edge.

Height is everything. The team that holds the upper forts sees and shells the lower ones, so the fight is always upward and attackers need smoke and the tunnels inside the forts rather than the open slopes. Crewed artillery decides pushes; a Support with ammo for it is worth a squad. Scouts have long sightlines but are exposed to the airship. In Iron Walls the Austrian attack usually stalls at the second sector unless the flanks are used.
The archived forum threads from 2016 and 2017 rank it among the launch maps most often voted off rotations, mostly by players who disliked the slow climb.
