Overview:
The British, Australian, New Zealand, and Greek troops of “W Force” were retreating down the Balkans, slowing the Germans at every pass and strongpoint, heading toward a “mini-Dunkirk” evacuation on southern Greece. But an important bridge ahead was taken by German glidermen who wanted to keep the bridge intact for use by their armored forces. For some inexplicable reason, the glider troops stripped the explosives from underneath the bridge and piled them on the bridge itself. During a counterattack by W Force, the explosives went off and destroyed the bridge. In the smoke of the ruined bridge, JU-52s began dropping two battalions of fallschirmjagers into the fight.Attacker: German (5 Kompanie, II Battalion, 2nd Fallschirmjäger Regiment)
Defender: Allied (Mixed Company Force "W"/British/Greek/ANZAC Corps)

2024-11-25 | (A) Craig Renier | vs | Mark Dennehy | German win | The allied defense was undermined early on with two box cars on TH rolls with the Bofors. Not wanting to help the Germans destroy any guns, the allies chose to not attempt any repairs. The remaining gun did have exceptional results regularly maintaining ROF and getting two CHs. The Germans attacked from the NE, NW, W, and S. The NW force was crippled from the CHs and the S force was first neutralized and then eliminated. Despite the losses and multiple failed attempts to take possession of a gun, the Germans were able to rally and resume the attack. The single gun was not enough to stem the tide and the Germans captured the final gun on Turn 5. | ||
2024-11-16 | (D) Seumas Hoskins | vs | Klara | German win | One of the AAs jammed first turn and then destroyed on the repair. I suffered several other box car rolls resulting in a few casualty reductions and both LMGs jamming. Germans came from 3 points to eventually close into melee with the last remaining gun with overwhelming odds to take the win. | ||
2024-11-14 | (D) Mark Peak | vs | Dan Leader | Allied win | Set up in the middle grain against my better judgement, but it worked out well. I rolled very well and Dan did not and it's very tough to cross that open ground or grain against the AA guns acting like machine guns. | ||
2024-09-07 | (A) Enrico Croce | vs | Enrico Croce | D | Allied win | 2.5 hrs | I was convinced that the scenario was quite easy for the Germans, but perhaps the placement counts more than anything else. The AA placed in the central grain field, supported by the squads in the surrounding woods proved to be a tough nut for the Germans. When the game ends there are still unresolved melees in the hexes of two AA guns, so victory goes to the Allies. |
