Island of Death: Invasion of Malta, 1942

Island of Death: Invasion of Malta, 1942

2008·Brian L. Knipple

1 - 2 players
180 min
Heavy weight: Expect a long teach

From BoardGameGeek

Island of Death focuses on the hypothetical invasion of Malta by Axis forces during the Second World War. Players control German, Italian and Commonwealth forces on a 22"x17" map covering the entire island. The system used is adapted from earlier Avalanche releases (Red Steel, Red Parachutes, and Alamein). The game includes a small introductory scenario and a campaign scenario covering the entire battle. Each oversized hex is 1 kilometer across, while the 280 counters represent mostly Companies and Battalions. Included in the 24-page rulebook are rules for Paratroopers, Armor, Artillery Support, supply lines, amphibious landings and parachute drops.
