Description: Contents you will receive:Counters for Italia & Sicilia (unpunched as seen in photo) designed by Mark SimonitchI also sell the complete game (with digital rules) and I have a different auction with only digital rules. Description: Campaign game, July 1943 to May 1945. The game has Fundamental, Basic, and Advanced rules with optional rules for Basic and Advanced levels. There are several scenarios starting with Husky, the invasion of Sicily. Other scenarios are Avalanche, Diadem, and the Gothic Line battles. Some scenarios have alternate ending dates depending upon the level of reaction forces of the Axis and the level of force commitment of the Allies. Players can number from 2 to 4. Question: Isn't Italia & Sicilia just the 7th edition of Anzio? Answer: Yes and No. The last published Anzio was the 4th edition by Avalon Hill in 1978. The 5th and 6th editions don't actually exist at all, as they were simply rule clarifications and terrain clarifications with some rule changes. A 6th edition Anzio Rule manual was prepared by Tom Oleson, and is available for download from BGG's Anzio page, however, it does not include any advanced game rules. The rules are totally revised although the format will remain the same. The latest edition, which could technically be considered a 7th edition Anzio, is unlike any of the previous iterations. The game begins months earlier than Anzio with the invasion of Sicilia. Furthermore, a number of scenarios have been added and a heretofore unpublished comprehensive advanced game of the entire Italia & Sicilia campaign has been added. The new, advanced campaign game represents the fulfillment of Tom’s many years of effort to make a great game of the Italian Campaign. The new, advanced campaign game is a masterpiece. Mark Simonitch produced two new game maps for Tom Oleson named Italia & Sicilia. The new maps do not have the terrain ambiguities found on the innovative 1968 Anzio map. Furthermore, the new maps add the island of Sicily and the rest of Italy - the 1968 Anzio map omits the toe and heel of Italy. The Italia & Sicilia maps are much more comprehensive than the 1968 Anzio map. Availability: Please note (in the last photo) the full counter sheet has a horizontal distortion across the bottom row. This flaw was in the master so every sheet has this problem.
