This scenario takes place in my APC thread special 'tanks' go to @Cryhavoc101for it.
After Dunkirk and the subsequent months, the British military makes the decision to fortify Crete with tanks and aircraft. But due problems and delays this proves to be a slow process. By the time fall of Greece and subsequent evacuation of the BEF. The defence stands at
one Australian regiment
one mechanized British regiment (Vanguard II)
35 RAF hurricane fighters
50 tanks a mix of A10 and the new Valentine Infantry tanks.
Note: in this scenario the Valentine came much earlier.
How does the battle of Crete go?
How much effort will the Germans put into conquering Crete?
If Crete doesn't fall what effect does it have in the whole Mediterranean/north African campaign and the British war effort?
