Overview
Island of Death focuses on the hypothetical invasion of Malta by Axis forces during the Second World War. Players control German, Italian and Commonwealth forces on a 22"x17" map covering the entire island. The system used is adapted from earlier Avalanche releases (Red Steel, Red Parachutes, and Alamein).
The game includes a small introductory scenario and a campaign scenario covering the entire battle. Each oversized hex is 1 kilometer across, while the 280 counters represent mostly Companies and Battalions. Included in the 24-page rulebook are rules for Paratroopers, Armor, Artillery Support, supply lines, amphibious landings and parachute drops.
