This one has been a bit of a pain: most old sources were ridden with errors, typos and propaganda from the war-era (both German and British.) Newer sources and careful examination of data were needed to complete this one under my standard.
Notes I think will reach 20+ pages, that gives you an idea of the magnitude of changes. You will notice more map changes than anything I've do until now (if you excluse unrelease Tunisia). I hope you enjoy the plethora of new names, corrections and terrain features.

With that one my mediterranean trilogy is finished: Anzio, Tunisia (will be delivered with the Tunisia'43 Hi-Res patch) and Sicily now.

Sicily took me about 5 months, I was expecting something like this, a lot of bibliography was read and that needs time.

Next stop is Stalingrad. A monster. I've been gathering data about errors and missing things for years so I've a solid start here. There is a lot to read I want to make the most historical game I can.
I can tell you you will likely be surprised by what I found and others have research. The flanks around Chir river will show a lot of new things, right flank of PzAOK.4 also with so many previously unknown (to me at least) KG and Battlegroups in the Steppes...
The weakned state of the 6th Army (and the defenders of Stalingrad) on November 19 will scary any german player. The Rumanians will also likely surprise you. Also plenty of research on the Soviet side, as you will see.

I will post my advances about Stalingrad, hopefully more often.
