Invasion Sicily

Yesterday played through GMT's Invasion Sicily boardgame.  http://www.gmtgames.com/nnis/invasion_sicily_main.htm

It was a first playing and while it followed the Operation Mercury rule set we still had to look up various special rules, some of which proved quiet elusive - they were there, but the gamer equivalent of domestic blindness afflicted both of us. Set up time not included, we played for about six hours. The Allies got a bloody nose and the Axis were making a skilful withdrawal although were unlikely to get clean away.
