	Description Edit \| History

Operation Mercury' allows you to recreate the bitter struggle for Crete (Spring 1941 - Axis vs. Allied) at company/battalion level.

The game system, based on the award winning GMT Operational System which first appeared in Operation Shoestring: The Guadalcanal Campaign, 1942 and Air Bridge to Victory, allows for multiple combat options. The system also takes into account unit morale and efficiency as well as formation strength when resolving combat.
