after marching through the mountains in the hot days of May KG hauser reaches one of the last harbours the allies control. Again its theri mission to cut off retreating anzac and greek forces by capturing the cityon the coast.

the main attack will go in from the south were the distance to the coast is the shortest whichmeans there is less ground to place defenses on. also the approach is a bit protected.

the bulgarians and the fallschirmjaeger will move slowly through the hills adding pressure on the flanks while the 1st company with the help of the gebirgsjaeger and the slovaks as reserve will be the main effort.

This is a chance for K-Plt of Oberleutnant Schwarz to proove itself. its the econd time it was rebuild with fresh recruits after its men were used to man the captured guns after heavy losses made the platoon ineffective in combat.

the weather is fine with a clear sky giving perfect opportunity for air attack. As the stukas dive in they are met by heavy defense fire. one is damaged but all manage to drop their bombs achieving no visible results other then a few destroyed buildings. There seems to be at least one platoon of 20mm gns as well as some 40mm guns in town.
