CRETE MAY 20 1941 AT HUZZAH! FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

CRETE, MAY 20, 1941 AT HUZZAH! FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

Crete, May 20, 1941 was one of Hitler’s greatest gambles. Against impossible odds, the German Army persevered capturing the island and 15,000 of CREFORCE’s troops. CRETE hopes to recreate the flavor of the period while providing a fun gaming experience, along with prizes!

The players maintain a point count throughout the weekend. You may play as many sessions as you like. The top score will receive two (2) $25.00 gift certificates for the vendors, and second and third highest scores will receive a (1) $25.00 gift certificate for the vendors. 

The system is not unlike Peter Rice’s Behind Enemy Lines, but uses less character development and focuses on combat. If you have gamed WW2 at the 15MM skirmish scale before, you will have no problem picking up the rules which cover the front of one page.

The rules and a sample OB follow- comments are welcome. A full rules brief precedes every session. I also hope to have a game test on Tuesday, May 10 6pm in Amesbury, MA - all are welcome, and I will post an invitation soon....

So get registered, and I’ll see you at the tables!
