Crete #34 Set Up Question

[saracv3]

The set up instructions for Crete scenario #34 appear to have a problem. The Germans set up first on board #97 in hexes numbered 0600 or less. The Australians are instructed to set up second in hexes numbered 0900 or less on board #97. This suggests that the Australians (and Greeks) can set up within three hexes or even behind German positions.

I don’t think Mike P. quite had the intent of Australians being placed behind German lines. I think the set up should read “...Australians set up in hexes 09xx or greater.” This is more logical. However, setting up adjacent to the enemy is an interesting twist. I’m inclined to do just that. It would create an instant bloodbath. Both sides need to control Hill A, and it would create an instant battle of
Assault Combat.

Considering that what is written is board 96 and/or 97 in 09xx or less, I would agree that the "or less" should have been "or greater/higher". Otherwise the Australians have 2 setup zones.

The Australians should setup in hex row 09xx or higher on board 97. Thanks, Mike
