Air Assault on Crete / Invasion of Malta: 1942

A World War II strategic game depicting the first large-scale airborne invasion, as German forces attack Allied survivors on Crete. Players conduct air missions, bombardment, movement, and combat using battalion-level units with attack, defense, movement, and stacking values. Terrain effects, zones of control, and optional attacks shape operations across the map. The package also includes a separate game covering the hypothetical German-Italian invasion of Malta in 1942, with both scenarios using a shared core rules system.
