Operational Matters: An OCS Guide is a support booklet devoted to the Operational Combat Series, a selected mixture of game-specific strategy articles on many of the games in this series, and also some generalized analysis of the system’s nuances. Novice players will especially enjoy the blow-by-blow examination of the Primosole Bridge scenario. Sicily II is a full-sized game covering the amphibious invasion of that island in the summer of 1943. A smaller, faster game that conforms to the scale chosen for Beyond the Rhine and the upcoming games set in Western Europe. Sicily II is a perfect way to give new recruits their baptism in the fire of OCS, and is also a worthy entry in the series for players who have already earned their stripes.

Here are some of the game’s highlights:
The entire campaign lasts just 16 turns.
There are six scenarios in all (three using the entire map, and three using just a portion).
The Allied airborne fiasco is recreated with simple scatter rules.
The amphibious landings can be played out using standard OCS naval rules, or players can mostly skip these and begin with the bulk of Allied forces already ashore.
The Luftwaffe’s Do.217K makes its series debut, armed with exotic Fritz-X missiles.
Rules for Italian unit wavering and surrender make every game different.
Several interesting options are provided, including revised Axis deployment and variable entry of the 29th Panzergrenadier Division.
Components:
80-page magazine (includes the game rules for Sicily II)
2 sheets of counters
1 map (22” x 34”)
NOTE: the OCS Series Rulebook and Charts are not included; these can be downloaded from the MMP support website if you do not already have these. The 2024 reprint incorporates some minor errata, but is not a new version of the orignal game.
