Overview:

"Dropping Off At Maleme?" -- The previous day, at the beginning of Operation Merkur, the Luftelande-Sturmregiment underwent heavy losses from the 22nd New Zealand Battalion while attempting to seize the Maleme airport. In spit of its failure, the Luftelande-Sturmregiment was the unit which seemed to have established the most promising bridgehead. It confirmed that judgment on May 21 while seizing Hill 107 which overlooked the airfield in the south. Paratroops of Fallschirmjager Regiments 1 and 2 were en route to reinforce at 1430 hours and landed under the protection of a group of Junker 87.

Defender: New Zealand / British (22nd New Zealand Battalion and B Squadron, 7th RTR/156th Light AA Battery)

2025-05-22(D) Garrett Woolsey vs Dan Lepore New Zealand / British winFun scenario, challenging for the Germans given the randomness inherent to the paradrop. German has air support Stukas which can even up things if they are effective. Consider balancing with the one turn of additional air support.
