Assault – Sicily 43 is the second volume in a planned series of tactical level wargames in which players lead historical units into battle during the landing and airborne operations around Gela Beachhead (July 1943). Americans, Italians and Germans fight bitterly for the backdoor Sicily as a launchpad for the invasion of the continent. Assault – Sicily 43 is intentionally not intended to be a simulation, but rather it abstracts certain aspects in favor of playability and manageable game length to convey the feeling of comprehensive tactical combat situations.
