Vae Victis issue 22. This game covers the German airborne invasion of Crete, and provides both two-player and solitaire rules. This game has some of Vae Victis's more complicated rules governing combat, but the rules still clock in at just over six pages. The scale of the game is relatively small, with turns representing eight hours and counters representing infantry batallions and armored platoons. As with all Vae Victis games, the counters need to be cut out and mounted. The rules are entirely in French, although translations are available online.
