 DIGITAL Rules for Italia & Sicilia by Tom Oleson & his development team.  The rules will be sent to you as a PDF file on a CD.  The 4 pages of errata are included at the end of the PDF file.  I've also included a PDF file of the Player-aid Charts on the disc.  Note, the photo reflects what the rules looked like when originally printed.  Those copies are sold out.  

Question: Isn't Italia & Sicilia just the 7th edition of Anzio?

Answer: Yes and No.

• The last published Anzio was the 4th edition by Avalon Hill in 1978. The 5th and 6th editions don't actually exist at all, as they were simply rule clarifications and terrain clarifications with some rule changes. A 6th edition Anzio Rule manual was prepared by Tom Oleson, and is available for download from BGG's Anzio page, however, it does not include any advanced game rules.
• The rules are totally revised although the format will remain the same. The latest edition, which could technically be considered a 7th edition Anzio, is unlike any of the previous iterations. The game begins months earlier than Anzio with the invasion of Sicilia. Furthermore, a number of scenarios have been added and a heretofore unpublished comprehensive advanced game of the entire Italia & Sicilia campaign has been added.
• The new, advanced campaign game represents the fulfillment of Tom’s many years of effort to make a great game of the Italian Campaign. The new, advanced campaign game is a masterpiece.
