Operation HUSKY, Sicily, late in the evening of July 9th 1943: This Alternate Campaign combines the Stronger Allied and Stronger Axis variant campaigns into one mega-variant. In this scenario, the Allied player gets the additional forces and fewer withdrawals of 0709_04s, while the Axis player gets the forces from 0709_05s. The result should be a true Sicilian slugfest, with both sides having many deployment choices and plenty of troops to send into battle. [Size large] Designer Note: This scenario examines what might have happened had both sides made an even bigger push to contest Sicily.

The D+2 option is untenable if one considers the strategy options available to the allied side. Even the original plan will have problems to develop but at least stands a chance. If VST are used, then the supply sources of the beaches have 10 or 20 supply level which runs out of ammo the beacheads pretty quickly.
