A Greek Tragedy: The Italian Invasion of Greece 1940-1941 (2001)

About this 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.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
