Conquest of the Aegean Parachutes over Corinth

This is a what-if scenario from the original Conquest of the Aegean (COTA) game, which has been updated into the Command Operations universe with the recent release of Command Ops: Battles for Greece expansion pack. A German parachute regiment must take and hold the Corinth Canal Bridge until reinforcements arrive, while an Allied brigade must retake it and exit to the South.

The Corinth Canal Bridge is the lifeline for 4th NZ Inf Bde, which is currently in a rearguard position at Erithrai, astride the German axis of advance from Thermopylae. This makes it an attractive target for the Germans, and although their ground forces are still far off, they have a parachute regiment in reserve. Corinth is an ideal objective for such a force.

Conquest of the Aegean: Battle for the Maltese Cross

Qrendi Airfield, Republic of Malta: This scenario pits the Axis Army Group against the Allies Middle East Command in a historical what-if interpretation of Operation Hercules, the planned but never-executed joint Italian-German invasion of Malta.

  

The Axis force consists of two reinforced divisions, one parachute (7th Flieger Division, Fallschirmjäger & Luftlande-Sturmregiment, Fallschirmjäger) and one mountain (Gebirgsjäger) which drops on Qrendi Airfield initially and other areas during the reinforcement schedule.

Conquest of the Aegean: Elasson Rearguard

Tsaritsani, Greece: This scenario pits the Axis XXXX Armee Korps against the Allies 6th NZ Infantry Brigade. The Allies objective is to essentially delay the German advance in the sector to prevent a clean breakthrough while using delaying tactics and bridge demolition in their withdrawal to Larissa.

  

The Allies have 4,532 personnel, 75 armored fighting vehicles, 502 non-armored fighting vehicles and 75 guns units at their disposal for a combined Anti-Personnel rating of 1,114, Anti-Armor of 1,012, Bombardment of 370 and Armor of 151. There are no scheduled reinforcements.
