Introduction |
---|
On the late afternoon of the 20th the 1st Battalion and the Regimental HQ of the 1st Parachute Regiment had dropped near Gournes, a beachside town a few miles east of Heraklion. Col. Bruno Bräuer established his regimental headquarters in Gournes by 1900. With no word yet from the 2nd Battalion, tasked with securing the airfield, Bräuer dispatched Lt. Wolfgang Graf von Blücher and his platoon westward to establish contact. They reached a position known to the British as East Hill before encountering enemy resistance. |
Conclusion |
---|
Unable to dig in the hard and rocky soil and unable to penetrate the Scottish position, Blücher's men found what cover they could and waited for help. Shortly after dawn the rest of 1st Battalion arrived and attempted to reach their position from the east. Survivors of the 2nd Battalion aided with an attack from the south. Despite heavy fighting the Scots held their positions and by noon the Germans had assumed a defensive posture to repel the expected counterattack that never materialized. At 1530 Blücher's men surrendered. |

The German enter on either side of the river from the east edge. Victory points are based on hill tops controlled and enemy steps lost. Germans go west behind the 20 meter hills to hide from the Brits. Then toward the end of the 18 turns go up the steep slope to the hill tops. The Germans can use the planes to attack the Brits as the map is clear. Yes the Brits dig in for -1 shift. The German have enough 2 morale bonus leaders to spread around for any morale checks with the 8/8 para base morale.This one I put in the solo category. Good to learn tactics for ftf play. |
