Description: Decision Games Magazine Game #7 Mussolini Strikes,1940 stock photo - Magazine Game counters unpunched Features:The war game featured in this issue is Richard H. Berg’s Greek Tragedy (GT), which covers Mussolini’s ill-fated invasion of that country late in 1940. The game is, at least for the Italians, a logistics nightmare. Most of what that player does will be concerned with simply getting his available resources to Albania and Greece – and that includes keeping his units in viable shape – and fighting the machinations of Il Duce and his ill-chosen subordinates. For both players, GT is a game dominated by terrain and weather. Mussolini chose to attack in mid-autumn in a country noted for bad weather and rough terrain. Until the chosen day, the weather was fine and clear. On the morning of the invasion, about an hour before the Italian army moved out, all across the Albanian border it started to pour. It was downhill from that moment. There are two scenarios: the “Gamers’ Game,” and the “Historians’ Game.” The latter allows players to see what happened, and why, and is intended for solitaire play. The former is an Italian pipe dream, a best-case scenario for them, but one that also allows for competitive balance between two players while showing what could’ve happened had there been better planning and more strategic insight in Rome. Thanks for Looking!
