Parachutes Over Crete, scenario #18: Local Effort

Most of the action is going to center around the town, which I put my downloaded 3 town hex copy on the map. The Germans setup most of their units in the town but some forward units to spot for the further back Mortars and pull back when the Allies: Australian & Greek troops get too close. The Greeks enter on the center of the eastern edge of the map and the Australians enter on the left flank with a few units entering of the right flank, all hoping to converge on the three hex town.

This smaller size scenario turned into a real bloodbath and a surprising number of 2 & 12 rolled on the dice bring up casualties numbers on both sides. In the end, the Germans occupied two town hexes but did not control them, the Allies eliminated enough German steps that both sides achieved a minor victory, so a Draw is what this bloody scenario turned into.

The Germans lost 6 steps, while the Australians lost 6 steps and a leader and the Greeks lost 5 steps and a leader, both sides were pretty well spent.
