Operation Husky

Operation husky

The Allied invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky, was a major World War II campaign, in which the Allies took Sicily from the Axis (Italy and Nazi Germany). It was a large scale amphibious and airborne operation, followed by six weeks of land combat. It launched the Italian Campaign.

Husky began on the night of 9–10 July 1943, and ended 17 August. Strategically, Husky achieved the goals set out for it by Allied planners. The Allies drove Axis air, land and naval forces from the island; the Mediterranean's sea lanes were opened and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was toppled from power. It opened the way to the Allied invasion of Italy.

Allies will start with 1 base and 2 carriers. they will need to capture the whole island. town down will be at 20%(to be modified as necessary)

Most excellent fights tonight against Poppy, Carver and Cuervo. This is what an historical air combat game should be.

guadalcanal is small, has lots of spawns for gv fights, has carriers, and is short distances to plane fights, and longer ones for bombers.

its an all around good map and works for what we need. i could've used the Italy map, but everything is just the opposite.
