Overview:

Securing Maleme airfield gave the Germans the initiative. Heavily reinforced, they began advancing eastwards towards Canea, while a sizeable force threatened the New Zealanders’ flank from Prison Valley. In an effort to stem the German advance in that sector, on 25 May Brig Kippenberger directed the now famous counter-attack by his makeshift 10th Bde that recaptured the hilltop village of Galatas at bayonet-point. This proved only a temporary tactical success; increasing pressure by the Germans, who made good use of their command of the air by bombing the defenders almost continuously, obliged the Allied forces to withdraw to the east to avoid being surrounded.
Attacker: German (Kampfgruppe Ramcke/ 2nd Battalion, 100th Regiment, 5th Gebirgsjäger Division)
Defender: New Zealand (10th New Zealand Brigade/ Petrol Company, 10th NZ Brigade/ 3rd Hussars)

2024-10-16(D) Justin DiSabatino vs New Zealand winNew Zealand units set up with a forward defense on board v to slow the Germans as much as possible and force them into the CAs of the HIP artillery. This worked well, with the Germans struggling to gain momentum until both guns malf'd and then one broke on the repair attempt. The second never repaired before the crew was killed and this let the German wave sweep over the NZ line. NZ MG nests still managed to slow the German advance, but the Germans dashed through the open field to the south to start infiltrating the village. The Germans in the village had already reduced the NZ presence so that the Germans were able to get a toehold before the NZ reinforcements entered. I felt this was key; if the reinforcements are able to set up throughout the village, it would have been much harder for the Germans to dig them out. One MkVIB was taken out by HMG on entry (critical hit) but the other moved in to stall the Germans, holding the uJ boulevard. In the end, the Germans captured all of the stone buildings except I4, and it came down to the last CC roll of the game.

2023-09-29(A) David Garvin vs Gary Olson German winAs part of Slackers Con 2023. I had a mix of luck to start, and one of the defender guns had an amazing run! 2 Critical hits and he also had a number of incredible rate tears.
In the end, I was able to knock out a tank with an ATR and then counter attack when his reinforcements stormed a building he needed to take the win. In CC, I rolled 1, 1 to seal the deal. Great Fun!
2023-07-22(A) Bob McKenna vs Lou Padilla New Zealand winGermans attacked in line and broke though pickets on left and center. Germans crossed first hill and found 75 gum on next hill. Gun kept rate and caused casualties. Germans pressed left, the long way to town. Found 2nd gun in Wheatfield. New Zealanders held the right. Repaired 2nd gun 2x. Kiwis created a leader in HOB and harassed the German rear guard.
. Germans got into the wooden buildings and ran into Light tanks and re inforcement. Germans tangled with tanks but the day was lost. No stone buildings taken. Heavy casualties on both sides. Kiwis win. Great game, Lou.
