Sicily: Triumph and Folly (2000)

The 7th game in The Gamer's popular OCS (Operational Combat System) series of games, this covers Operation Husky from the invasions to the fall of Messina. The game includes a few shorter scenarios plus several different start-dates for the campaign games, based on the various critical events of the campaign. Playing time can be a couple of hours for the shorter scenarios, but as with all the OCS games the real money is in the various campaigns, which - while quite manageable on the scale of these things - still can take from one to two full weekends to play to completion. This is certainly the most rules-intensive of all the OCS games with air, ground, and naval units (including aircraft carriers!), airdrop capability on both sides, and the invasion and naval supply transport rules.
