Assault: Sicily ’43 – Primosole Bridge Expansion Module is a historically rich campaign expansion for Assault: Sicily ’43, focusing on the brutal airborne clashes at Primosole Bridge during Operation Fustian. Set on the night of 13 July 1943 near the Simeto River, this module places players in command of British and German paratroopers fighting for control of a vital river crossing on the road to Messina.

As British airborne troops dropped behind enemy lines to seize and hold the bridge, German paratroopers launched determined counterattacks to reclaim it. What followed were four days of intense, close-quarters fighting where every metre of ground was contested by the British “Red Devils” and the German “Green Devils”. This expansion captures that struggle through detailed scenarios and an extensive dynamic campaign.
