lol - well, it adds the OBA and tactical air rules to the game, and there are 4 new scenario's (2 of which were written by me) designed to introduce the new rules. I should add that the Sicily game has the OBA and Tac Air built-in to it. The first expansion for this next game will include the British and Primosole bridge, so we will have para's against para's!

Not really, but they do serve as easy to play introductions to the game system.

I want to give an update on our Assault Sicily 43 project.

The Gamefound page is now setup and the countdown for the start is running.
Now we have to gain a sufficient number of subscribers to achieve a proper funding.

https://gamefound.com/projects/assault-games/assaultsicily43

In meanwhile our work does not stop - we still clear out minor things in our Sicily 43 documents. We take care about a US domestic logistic solution. We try to get up content to spread out the word for this beautiful wargame.
 :)

Time to share some words again!

Last weeks were challenging. Wanted to share some words about our experiences at Spiel´23 Essen which is the world largest board game fair!
Assault Games was there and we shown Assault Sicily 43:

So much attention, many interested wargamers came to our stand and wanted to get an impression of Assault Sicily 43.
A highlight was the visit of Michael (https://theboardgameschronicle.com/) and I played a whole scenario with him.
We had a lot of fun and he wants to support us with coverage during the Gamefound campaigns.

On the second day, a colleague from Dice Tower (USA) even came by and played Sicily 43 with Michael, expressing his great excitement for the unique dice system and how quick it is to play.
He had never seen such mechanics in wargaming!

Back fully motivated! Great mood and now back to the office.

Only a three more days until the start of the Assault Sicily 43 gamefound campaign. getting quiet nervous!

We are really excited! G-Day 13th October 2023!

I've been following the photos you've been sharing online.  Looks like you've had a great time!


On the second day, a colleague from Dice Tower (USA) even came by and played Sicily 43 with Michael, expressing his great excitement for the unique dice system and how quick it is to play.

In their defense the guys from The Dice Tower don't really know wargames all that well, so almost any dice mechanics in a wargame would be a surprise to them ;D

Looking forward to the new crowdfunding campaign!
