Description: Special note: I'm listing this game as "used' because the Italia map shows some damage. The damage is either pin-hole marks, white from the crease folds, tears at the folds, minor water stains, and minor map wrinkling from exposure to humidity. All the good copies of the map are gone and inventory for this game is nearly gone. See the pics for typical damage on the Italia maps. The Sicilia maps are still in "new" condition. Also note that the rules and player aid charts are PDF files on a CD. I can arrange to send these large files via email as well. Contents you will receive:Map for Italia.

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 Furthermore, a number of scenarios have been added and a heretofore unpublished comprehensive advanced game of the entire Italia & Sicilia campaign has been added.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: My father is a personal friend of Tom Oleson, consequently the only way to acquire this game is through this auction. Please note (in the 7th photo) the full counter sheet has a horizontal distortion across the bottom row. This flaw was in the master so every set has this problem.
