With many people taking care of their moms and wives for Mother’s Day, we’re keeping it light today with a casual game of Panzer General.

We’re trying out the scenario for Operation Mercury (May 1941) to mark the 80^th anniversary of the German invasion of Crete. This was the largest airborne operation to date, indeed considered by some to be the first predominantly airborne invasion.

Elite German “Fallschirmjäger” paratroopers went up against, Greek, British, New Zealand, and Australian troops in a ferocious battle that hung precariously in the bloody balance. In fact German paratroopers took such heavy casualties that they were never used as “airborne” troops again.

We hope to see some of you there!
