We played with most optional rules (not Logistic shortfall) but no rocky terrain since it is not clear where these rocks are located exactly.

Nice middle size scenario showing Germans arriving by parachute against valiant Greek soldiers. The Greeks set up mainly in Agia while some of their units (HMG, mortar) dug in on top of the highest hill of board 98 and in the vineyards all around to greet the enemy with decent defensive fire. The German choice of landing sites was more risky than I (Greek) thought: very close to Agia and even closer to the board edge without fear of being lost, drowned in the lake or killed by defensive fire. However, the German player rolled 4 times “1”, in succession, as accuracy of the parachute drops and most of his troops landed safely except for 2 units lost over the board edge. Greek defensive fire failed desperately. Next, the Germans began to gather and advance on Agia. The paratroopers who were farther north, in the hills, attacked the dug in Greeks at serious disadvantage (attacking uphill vs dug in infantry…) and … rolled very low destroying the Greek positions. The Greeks counterattacked in force but the Germans kept winning all assaults with incredible success. Even a lucky kill die roll by an aircraft destroyed a Greek HMG at a critical moment. At that point, the advantage the Greeks had on the casualty tally began to disappear so that the possible Greek tactic which was to evade combat, run and hide in the vineyards, and abandon Agia became invalid. The Greeks will have to hold the town! However, the bad series went on: the slightest German fire (column 2) seemed to be able to badly hit the Greeks with clockwork regularity; large firepower attack systematically stroke 3 or 4 with the dice and on top of that the Greeks rolled awfully high on morale checks (several “12” at critical moments). The remaining Greeks still fought on in Agia trying to delay the assault since victory was possible if just one Greek unit remained in the city. Then the long overdue Greek luck strike happened and one German big stack was badly shaken in Agia. The Greeks charged to finish the demoralized Germans and buy some more time. Alas, the demoralized German units answered by a new “12” in assault, killing more Greeks… The Paratroopers then rallied, went on with new assaults, fired again low; the Greek HMG rolled “12” on a normal morale check, a mortar friendly fire (column 2) rolled a new “12” on one of the last Greek units that rolled “11” to be eliminated. Etc, ad nauseam. Despite all the luck, the Germans only won on turn 17 just before the end on turn 18. This seem to indicate that the scenario is decently balanced. And it was interesting fighting.
