About the game

Covers "the invasion of Greece by Italy during WWII". One version of the game is historically accurate but unbalanced. It is good for study and solo play. The other version is a best case scenario that pretends the Italians were not as inefficient as they were historically in that particular battle. making the game more balanced and better for two players. The one and two-thirds sheets of counters that have to be mounted (good cardstock provided with game) and cut-out are simple and attractive, same for the map. 7.5 miles/hex, 1 mo/turn, battalions-divisions.
