Description Description

Mediterranean sea, southwest coast of Sicily island.

It was the early morning of 10 July 1943 when the first landing craft dropped their ramps at Gela and the first units of US Rangers set their boots on Italian soil. Together with the British and Canadian units that had landed further east, the Western Allies launched an unprecedented landing operation to push open the gate to Fortress Europe.

The night before, on 9 July, American and British airborne troops had already dropped into enemy territory behind the planned beach landing zones to occupy important positions. This was to prevent or delay timely counterattacks by Italian and German troops on the day of the landing.

This operation, called Husky, was the beginning of the end of the Italian army as an ally of the German Wehrmacht. It was the additional front, long demanded by Stalin, and thus brought the necessary relief of the Eastern Front.

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 in July 1943.

Americans, Italians and Germans fight bitterly for the backdoor Sicily as a launchpad for the invasion of the continent.

An absolute fantastic hex and counter wargame. The card-organised units and the different composition of units from game to game makes it exellent for replayability and the solitaire capability is quite high. This was the game, when I played so many other ones, I was always looking for.

Novel system that has the right balance of chrome and complexity. Love the campaign mode with the ability to use any units you choose. Components are the best you will find in a game! Right now my favorite game. I have played many tactical game series and all manufacturers can take a lesson from Sound of Drums on how to make a top quality game.

This game is incredible. Despite the respectable size and heft (4.9kg) of the box, it is quite nimble and fast to play - and yet packs the right amount of realism, chrome and historicity. The components are carefully crafted, well produced, and visually satisfying. There is a storage solution in it, and it works, if you leave the cards unsleeved. On can feel the huge effort of research (and giving of love) that went into it. I recommend it for beginners not quite willing to tackle the complexities of ASL, LHY, or LnLT (in descending order of) and yet aspiring to grasp what was tactical combat during WWII.

An excellent tactical system. The best components I've seen! For me it's one of the best tactical game I've played and I've played a lot. There are numerous decisions to take for the player. There is a lot of different units, each with different strengh and capabilities. You have to use the units in very historical sense. The combat system is very fun! There is a great historical research behind this game. There is a campaign and individual scenarios with excellent replayability. Congratulations to the designer and can't wait other games in this serie!!!

I finally got my copy at the end of January 2025!!! I have played (or continue to play) nearly every squad-level, tactical, WW2 system out there. This is now my favorite (by a nose). I give it a slight edge over OST due to its streamlined and fun combat system. I will be writing up a full review in the near future.
