Fritz Buff (Team Buff on the Blitz) says this about Sicily '43:
I am not one to throw praise around, even when it is due. But I have to give you guys a big "wow" when it comes to Sicily and the updates to the game engine. Everything from the daunting terrain to the painfully scattered paradrops to the incremental landings show fantastic effort from the design team. I have only seen the allied side, but I am sure the axis will provide another treat.
Fantastic work!
