after 24 turns (how man minutes was a turn i forgot)there is still fighting all over the area. the kiwi tanks are rushing back and forth trying to push back the attackers in the city and in front of the castle. They are down to 2 running vehicles now and the city is full of german/slovak infantry. The artillery positions are taken by german infantry and armored cars.

Soon the castle will be totally cut of from retreat.

The croatians are attacking the monastery in the south where they discovered an 2 AT-Guns and a MG-position. The next few minutes will see the end of the battle.

German Grenadiers and Gebirgsjaeger are scaling the eastern walls of the castle with mortarfire covering their advance.
The bulgarians are advancing carefully from the north while the new zealanders still control the road and the area west of the castle.

note: left is north on this map i guess.

Great fight! what will happen after this position is taken? were we fast enough? can we stay on the heel of the allies or will they have time to dug in again?

It was the last rear guard. Next stop: Crete. I already did the scenario last weekend.

Your Kampfgruppe is one of the first to land amphibically with heavy weapons. More paratroopers are still being flown in and the landing zones are far from secure.

As the sun went down the fighting also ended.

Many Guns were captured and one A10 CS surrendered with the tank completely intact as the crew saw they were surrounded by german infantry with flame throwers and satchel charges.

The surrender of the remaining NZ forces realising their retreat was cut off was only a matter of time.

After this fight what was left of KG Hauser continued south following the german advance through greece. The following weeks were quite and the main duty was guarding prisoners as the greek and cw forces that couldnt evacuate surrendered.

After reaching the southern tip of the Peloponnese there were a few weeks of rest and refit as well as training for the new mission: KG Hauser was to take part in the Invasion of crete.
