Background
----------------
The 23 th April 1941. the Greece King and Government
left the continent and went to Crete.
Next day the Greece Army surrended in the continent. and New Zealand
soldiers fought
in Termophilas while the British Navy rescued 45.000 Soldiers. As in
Dunkirk the British Navy Did
a great work despite of the continual bombardement and increasing number
of loses in ships and men.
The 20 th May The Axis launched the "Merkur" operation. With lot of difficulties and loses the German got a great victory in one of the most important air transported operation in all the war. But to tell the truth the punishment in German Paracaidist was very important and this german forces never recovered of that operation. Another time the British Navy did a great effort to defend Crete from the Invasion. lot of War Ships without air protecction were used in the zone. and they got heavy loses.
Many people have wondered about why England risked
so many troops in Greece. Many difficulties surrounded them. in Africa
they had lot of troubles and probably needed that troops

can explain that. there He told us
that a Defeat can always be mended... but a shameful act would have
hurt the hearth of our Force.
in Fact Greece Was the only Allied of Britain... and they had to help
them..
The Scenario is the Italian - German operation to take a
pair of Greek Islands.

for Ploiesti Oil Fields. In the same way that Crete, German decide to take
that Islands and throw the British away of the Zone.
in order to get a Naval Support in the Action. German force the Italians to send a navy group leaded by the Battleship Vittorio Veneto to the Zone. They will arrive on the night and will start to fire on the island by surprise on the dawn of the next day so they will support the disembark of Air and Naval transported groups.
But The Allied Army have decided to support the defense of that islands
sending the Battleship Valiant to the Zone with the support of several
cruisers.
