Overview:

The airfield at Maleme figured prominently in the German plans for the capture of Crete. “Group West”. Commanded most of the 1st Assault Regiment under the command of General Meindl, consisted of three detachments: one to land at the Tavronitis Bridge; one to destroy the AA positions and ease the way for the following troop-carrier transports; and one to land on the slopes of Point 107, high ground to the south of the field. Major Braun drew the task of seizing and holding the long span over the dry Tavronitis. Given free rein to plan his assault, he decided to daringly land in the dry bed itself and then take the British MG posts which guarded each side of the bridge from the rear.
Attacker: German (Abteilung Braun, Bataillon I, Sturm Regiment 1)

2022-03-13(A) David Garvin vs Bill Sosnicki New Zealand winGot all wild on the final turn. Was close, but in the end, the New Zealanders won it on a few key shots. Great Match.
2022-01-24(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna German win
2021-11-12(A) Rob Schmitt vs Dennis Dowd German winI played the German Attacker. I landed all gliders south of the bridge in two rows NW to SE. Lost 1-1/2 squads and a mortar due to defensive fire, glider damage, and one crash landing on a building. I was able to assemble troops and climb out of the dry bed to the south east side of the bridge and assaulted north. New Zelanders were defending all on the east side of the bridge. Got several lucky rolls and broke/DMed the New Zealanders defending. Defender was down to one good squad in the Victory zone when he conceded.

2020-04-10(A) Alberto González Ramírez vs Juan Pablo German winGerman victory in the last CC dice (snake eyes). Two gliders were shot down by AA and one was damaged by final fire. Germans run to engage CC.
