The second edition of Illusions of Glory: The Great War on the Eastern Front (“IoG”) is currently on the P500 list.

Links to prototype unit counters, player aid cards, mapboard, rules, and playbook can be found on the IoG webpage.

I’ve seen some remarks that playing Italy in IoG doesn’t look like much fun.  On the contrary, it is.

In addition to the initial Italian deployment, there are the following reinforcements:

Italy has 11 additional corps to bring into play.  So, the Allied Powers player will have more units to reinforce the Italian Front than his adversary.  He can be as aggressive as he wants in order to inflict losses on Central Powers units.  This can force the CP player to weaken his other fronts or suffer a breakthrough.

It sure looks like fun.  Try this on “Illusions of Glory, 2nd Edition”.
