Hey there guys.
First of all, dont mention "and your last map?" dont do it
Well, i've started a new project, Operation Abstention.
Operation Abstention was a raid made by the UK and Australia (These guys are in all the battles!) in the Island of Kastelorizo, eastern Aegean Sea. The Target was to Seize the Island and use it as an Advanced Base to challenge the Italian control over the Dodecanese Islands. The Allies made this desition because the italians were treating the UK Shipping, making several Air Raids using Hit & Run tactic.
The Invasion was supported by various ships, the HMS Decoy and HMS Hereward were transporting the assault team, while the cruisers HMAS Perth and HMS Bonaventure would protect them.
The Commandos quiclky overruned the Italian garrison, before the last bunch of italian Soldiers were captured or killed, they sent an alarm to Rhodes, one of the Italian main bases in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Now the real combat starts, the Italians are angry, they want their island back and NOW. They sent bombers to bomb the main Commandos positions, the Harbour, the Castle and the Hills. The Italians sent 120 Men to the islands, aboard some Gun Boats. A British destroyer, the HMS Hereward Joined the Battle, warned by the Commandos of the Increasing Italian naval activity.
The Commandos had to retreat, more Italians ships where leaving and coming back whit more destroyers.
The Commandos finally reembarcked in the Ships and went home, 40 men where left behind.
Now, this is the real story, this is some kind of What IF scenario.
Now, the game story is the Next.
Having succesfully captured Kastelorizo, the Italians sent an invasion force to retake the islands.
The Alexandria HQ Says the commandos have to leave the island, but the Italians will not let them go. They sunk 2 British Warships and prevents such Evacuation. Now, the Commandos are surrounded by the Italian Navy.
On February 26, at 13:41 Hours, the Italians secures 3 Beach heads. 2 in the South and one in the East* and Brings Armor*º.
One British Destroyer arrives and supports the Defense.

Ok thats the end of the Introduction.
Welcome to the FAQ.
Uncle Torenico... what is this? we are learning history or we are going to play?.You're doing both, the map will concentrate in the island of Kastelorizo, not far from the Coast of Turkey.
Good, so we expect Tanks?I dont know yet, its something i would like to decide. Tanks dindt showed up for that Battle, but it would good if the Axis could get one tank per beachead. Now, i wont give them any PzIV or a Tiger, this battle takes place in 1941, and most of the tanks where in North Africa. So the Italians couldnt get any M13/40, but maybe, maybe, a L6/40.
Why the L6/40?Because is not uber kill, its weak, it doesnt have HE ammo.. it may be useless.
Then why did you add it?Because the Italians needs some support, the Brits can Basecamp easily. The L6 can defend the beaches better than Infantry.
Sounds good, but in the introdution, you mentioned one British Destroyer......Yes i did, in real life the British had some Cruisers and Destroyers in the Area, so why not only one?.. sadly, the FH2 Destroyer looks Incompleted, i doubt it has HE Ammo so it wont be uber killing machine, i dunno, i may not add, community has the answer!.
Now, you must have a picture of the map in your brain.. it would look like..?Crete, it would be similar to crete. Whit some green areas, deserted ones, a village whit a Dock, a big hill whit a Monastery and many hills.
Why a "What If" Scenario, why not continuing Battle of the Camps?A What if scenario doesnt kill puppies or kittiets, sometimes they are fun. I can say, theres 2 kind of What If scenarios. One is the Uber Invasion of Crete, whit Tigers Panthers and E-100, other is the little battle, like, what happend if the Allies have won in Singapore, what happens if US Invaded Hainan.. Hong Kong, Taiwan, if Australia invaded Rhodes...
And about BC (battle of the camps), i think im giving up. I dont know, minimap just sucks, italians are pathetic in that map, i was doing some Lightmap when the editor crashed during save etc. I may continue if you guys want it...
Ok i understand the frustation, shit happens man. Well, why did you come whit this map? i mean, why did you picked Abstention?.Its in interesting battle, people usually ignores the actions in the Aegean Sea, and games too. This could be an Important battle, if the commandos managed to defend the island, im pretty sure an Airbase would be built there, and that would be a big headache for the Italians, now the have to use their Regia Aeronautica to defend Rhodes, an important base in the Mediterranean.
Well, have you started it?.Yes i've started, well actually, i started it a few months ago. I made the Island 75% Accurate, it was good actually. But somthing happend and save crashed, i wont make that mistake anymore.
I will be Following this man.Thanks dude.
