Description

Description from the publisher:

Welcome to Crete!

Not quite what the New Zealand, Australian, Greek and British troops said to the German Fallschirmjaeger as they descended to Crete in May of 1941.

Operation Merkur is the new TSWW mini-game which deals with the Axis invasion of Crete, using a cut-down set of rules, half month and five-day turns. as well as including for the first time a competitive play rule using optional units to tailor force structures.
