Marita-Merkur: The Campaign in the Balkans, 1940-41

This historical simulation covers the Balkan campaign from November 1940 through June 1941, with maps spanning Austria, Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, and Crete. Players command the forces of nine nations using counters representing individual battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, aircraft groups, and naval units. Movement, combat, and motorized exploitation follow the standard Europa system, with special rules for Greek mountain units, the Yugoslav coup, British naval interdiction, weather, and historical reinforcements. The game can be played independently or combined with other Europa games.
