My review

Piercing Fortress Europa is a new game from veteran game designer Frank Hunter, which covers the campaigns of the Western Allies from July, 1943 through the end of April, 1945 in Sicily and Italy. Each area has its own map and time scale to best represent the campaigns for Sicily and Italy and the player is offered complete freedom, limited only by a historical order of battle and logistics model, to plan his operations and explore all of the many “what ifs” that the Italian theater has to offer.

Awesome!

I particularly like this part:
This game system should be expanded to other fronts and serve as a model for developers seeking accuracy and accessibility.
It is much harder to think about doing something than actually doing it!

Yeah. Think about using this engine for Western Front 1944-45.

A really good game, easy to get into and doesn't take all day to play through a turn.
It seems that Franks' games don't get the level of attention that they deserve, I appreciate a strategy title that I can play in a reasonable amount of time.

I totally agree that its nice to play in a reasonable amount of time. Some games take too long, and I don't have the time I once did.

Excellent review. A typical "Easy to learn, difficult to master" game. I also have to agree that this game engine should be expanded to other areas.
