Date published: 4/1/1978
Designed by: Eric Goldberg
Developed by: Eric Goldberg
Data: In-depth simulation covering the crucial
battle for Maleme Airfield and all action in the Suda Bay area. Pits German
paratroopers and mountain troops against the polygot Commonwealth garrison.
Scenarios and a 60 turn campaign game.
Comments: This is a borderline addition, a
mini-monster in the grand tactical style of TSS. This two map game boasts of
a beautiful map and lots of counters, with plenty of action. But with 800
counters total, only 400 counters are for combat units. (The rest are
counters for strength losses.) Uses the Highway to the Reich game system.
