I'll see what happens; for the moment, I'll focus on establishing Sean's character alongside everyone else. :)

I decided to keep the Irish in the middle with Myles, so we'll see how Sean deals with drunken English cowardice/seeming incompetence. :P Sturm, if you want to write up a collab at some point, I'd certainly be open to that. :)

I want Myles to be shot in the head at a vague point in time by one of our guys, you did the character well then :D

But yeah, I do wish to have the campaign see the Resistance sort of part of it- Dimitri and Alexios could fit this really well, and even the other characters could see themselves adapt to a new line of fighting- a guerrilla war, later coming back to join friendly Allied forces. This somehow reminds me of Arma 3....Survive, Adapt, Win echoes in my mind...

I'd be happy enough if it turns to Guerilla Warfare; seems like an interesting idea. OR, if we win on Crete, we could perhaps push back into mainland Greece and attempt to liberate it a lot faster than happened in history.

Nice to see so many posts! I'll get down to reading 'em now. :)

I wouldn't mind some guerilla warfare myself, blowing up some bridges and kidnapping a few German officers.

Edit: Also debating whether Alexios shall join the glorious charge or keep the sector defend.

I'm also totally up for playing a German, if we need any. For the Fatherland!

Lol, I'm sure I could definitely roleplay someone like that. I'll have him drop out of the sky on a moose with a polar bear at his side, with a maple syrup-firing gattling gun?

For reference, Myles is referring to kingkonrad's character when saying "Australian".

Uh, I like how Myles' playing on Alexios' patriotism. How can any proud Greek reject such suggestion?

He's trying to take Bailey's glory by sending Alexios and Scott into the cauldron. If it pays off, and the Germans are routed from their sector, then Myles is gonna be like "HEY LOOK WHAT I DID! :D", though if it goes wrong he might have hope that Bailey gets shot or something before he can file a report or have him arrested.

EDIT: Either way, he's not the one who is gonna be getting shot at, which is most of what he really cares about at present.

Sean is just gonna be laying there, facepalming, and thinking a mixture of Damn Greeks and Why me!? as the day progresses.

I think I'll wait for a few more posts before I put up another; will give me something to react to. Who knows, if the routing of the Germans begins to go well, Sean and his buddies might even get involved!

So am I allowed to go full World War 1 infantry charge, soldiers running across the field and storming the enemy? Preferably screaming out the Greek national anthem?

Short one going up.

It'd be nice to get some urban combat in Heraklion, if possible at some point.

Well, it's down to you and ONL if the counter-attack goes south, and the Germans counter-counter-attack with some gathered strength and run us into the town. I think that's probably what happened at the time, but the ball is in your park with that one.

Of course, There's not much in the way of tanks on Crete, it was a mainly infantry-based battle. There were some, but none of them were suited to anti-infantry duties and suffered mechanical problems.

At the moment, I think has been stated, the Germans are just trying to get into cover so they can recover their gear. You'll meet some fumbling around with a knife, and others who have recovered their weapons (I think 40% of the armament were MP40's?) will be fighting you back with a "live or die" mentality. The Fallschirmjager were formidable troops, later serving as the Third Reich's praetorians alongside the Waffen SS, so they'd know what they were doing.

EDIT: 25% were armed with MP40s, after a quick wiki search. The Kar98 made up the rest, with MG34s scattered in-between.

Well, I think allowing the Germans to regroup is probably necessary for the battle of Crete to continue for more than a few more posts, right? Or were there/could there be more waves of paratroopers dropped into Crete over the following days?
