Crete, 20 - 22nd May 1941 The game portraits struggle between invading German forces and Allied defenders of Greek island Crete in May 1941. The gameplay shows first 3 days, which decided German success. Gamers can play small scenarios using boards showing four landing zones. Moreover, there are four variants of landing German forces. Scenarios can be played simultaneously as campaign. This way German player must decide where commit reinforcements. He has elite units in his disposal, but his goals are ambitious. Main challenge for Allied player is proper action coordination of possessed forces and mounting strong counterattack during first stage of operation. As we know, Allied commanders were unable to do this. Maybe you will perform better? -description from the publisher
