This expansion adds a layer of depth to Spearpoint including a two-sided WWII Italian-themed Village \/ Defensive Line map with 4” terrain tiles, 8 scenarios with 8 short stories by Mark H. Walker, large 1\" tracking counters, rules booklet, and quick reference and score cards. The terrain sets up differently with every game and adds elements of line of sight, movement, options to target buildings and fortifications or enter them for enhanced defense. Combined with Spearpoint deck construction, every game is unique. Play scenarios set in an Italian Village in Summer 1943 or along one of many Defensive Lines during the harsh winter months of 1943. Follow along battles on the Italian front with an 8-scenario linked campaign as PFC Andy Migliore. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLearn the game with a set of QR-code linked video tutorials with examples for all aspects of the game (see Playlist in Links, below).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlay Info:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers: \u003cstrong\u003e2\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlay Time: \u003cstrong\u003e45 min-1hr\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: \u003cstrong\u003e13+\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eComponents:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\"x36\" double-sided mounted Village \/ Defensive Line map\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 large 4\" square die-cut double-sided Feature Tiles (Terrain, Obstacles, Fortifications, Buildings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e56 large 1\" square die-cut double-sided tracking Counters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 new Scenarios with 8 short stories by Mark H.

The improved visual impact of the two-sided map board with the feature tiles that enable every game to have a unique layout significantly enhances the \"feel\" of the game. Likewise, the addition of line of sight (LOS), movement, and a number of rule tweaks because of these new features have made this game much more \"objective based\" than the basic game. The eight included scenarios take this to another level as you march through a sequential and well-written fictional Italian campaign with PFC Andy Migliore.\" - Bill Fuller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This expansion really takes Spearpoint 1943 to the next level.  It's a lot of fun and easy to play.” - Charles Cabell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"You have a map that will dramatically change throughout the game when buildings are destroyed and the dynamics on the map change accordingly...
