Setting up the Crete 1941 Game Part 1

For our test week with guests Joe Dever, Jervis Johnson, Dave Ryan and Theofanis Kalevras we kicked off proceedings with the test playing of our Crete 1941.  The majority of the units were ready and most of the terrain done - we were a year ahead of the official opening of Wargame Holidays (www.wargameholidays.com).
The game was great and worked really well, but it showed us we needed some extra German units (more paras) and needed to get more gliders, Ju52s and German aircraft.
