About this app

Allied Invasion of Sicily 1943 is a turn based strategy game set on the Mediterranean Theater during the Second World War. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011


You are in command of the amphibious assault force of two separate Allied armies invading the island of Sicily in the summer of 1943. Codenamed Operation Husky, it is effectively the first step in the Allied Italian campaign to strike into the soft underbelly of Axis-held Europe, as Churchill elegantly said. In addition to taking on the various Axis formations, ranging from weak Italian coastal units to the more formidable German Tiger tanks and elite paratroopers, and the fierce fighting in the mountain passes, the campaign is well known for the sometimes fierce competition between British and American forces to reach Messina before each other. The British Chiefs of Staff pushed for the invasion of Sicily, arguing it would force Germany to disperse its forces, knock Italy out of the war, and move Turkey to join the Allies. The Americans opposed the plan but eventually agreed to the Sicilian invasion to reduce the Axis attacks against Allied shipping in the Mediterranean.


"Sicily is the key to the Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean is the key to the war."
- Prime Minister Winston Churchill

Conflict-Series by Joni Nuutinen has offered highly rated Android-only strategy board games since 2011, and even the first scenarios are still actively updated. I want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of. If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you. Thanks for understanding!
