Do you game the Sicily theater in WWII?
miniMo	02 Mar 2019 7:57 p.m. PST
Not yet. Things From The Basement has a stunning new range of 28mm lasercut buildings on Kickstarter right now, so I suspect there will be such games in my future.
Rich Bliss	02 Mar 2019 8:01 p.m. PST
I have in the past. May get back there someday

Murvihill	03 Mar 2019 5:39 a.m. PST
The Gela landings are a good scenario to bathtub. A regular Italian infantry division and HG para panzer vs regular US and a paratroop drop. The Italians even have a mixed armor bn that includes S-35's IIRC.

Italy but not Sicily – would play it if someone set a game up
Martin Rapier	03 Mar 2019 12:30 p.m. PST

Not yet. But I hear the Perry's are working on plastic US GIs for North Africa/Sicily/Italy, so that might get me interested….
Legion 4	04 Mar 2019 8:00 a.m. PST
Beautiful paint jobs !
d88mm1940	04 Mar 2019 11:01 a.m. PST
It's my 3rd front: Sicily/Tunisia/the Rest of N. Africa. 1/285th and 28mm. Plus, If you're playing Patton, you get to slap a fellow player if he does something dumb! (Well, it should be a rule.) Agree, nice models. Even the vehicles are based…
Oppiedog	04 Mar 2019 12:41 p.m. PST
I can see it happening in the near future.
