Operation Mercury
Crete, Greece (1941)
Background
Most of mainland Greece is under Axis control, but some areas remain under the control of the Allies. The Ploiești oil fields in Romania is in bombing range from the island of Crete and therefor the island is a major threat to our operations in the east. High command has ordered an operation to capture the island, and to establish it as an airbase for the eastern Mediterranean.
Situation
We are dropping in the western part of Crete as a part of "Battle Group East". The battle group's objective is to take control of the La Trinité Airfield. Our company is tasked with cutting of the roads leading towards the airfield. Our platoon is the first drop of group 3.
The island is defended mainly by ANZAC forces. In our sector we have New Zealand troops defending the airfield and Australian troops defending the heights.
Mission:
Main
- Clear out the village of Houdan. It should have been softened up by JU-88 bombers.
- Secure the Eastern Road.
- Secure the Western Road
Secondary
- Capture the village of Arudy to allow rapid encirclement of the airfield defenders.
- Take out any target that is a threat to further airborne and glider landings.
Force
We are part of the Sturmabteilung Koch. We will be playing as an early war Fallschirmjäger squad with limited air and mortar support. All weapons with the exception of pistols and MP-40's are dropped in canisters and will need to be retrieved after landing. Mortars will not be immediately available.
Squad Leader (MP-40)
Machinegunner (MG-34)
Assistant Machinegunner (Kar98k)
Ammunition Bearer (Kar98k)
Team Leader (MP-40)
7x Riflemen (Kar98k) - One will probably be made medic, and one a radioman.
