More Operation Husky

I'm really enjoying Battles in Italy. Enough so that I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up a number of the other SSG games using this engine. After playing enough to grasp the mechanics I started a new game to play all the way through the Operation Husky scenario.

Here are a few scenes from the first days of the invasion.

Book & Games: Operation Husky

It is, and has been stupidly cold here. Like Russian Winter cold. So cold that the thought of launching a game and looking at the snow covered steppes of the Ukraine makes me shiver. I need a vacation someplace warm!

Since work is far, far to busy for me to actually go anywhere, I've decided to take a virtual vacation to sunny Sicily, in July 1943. I've always wanted a chance to learn more about the Italian campaign so I picked up the very well regarded Bitter Victory by Carlo D'Este.
