Skirmish Campaigns produces two books, one on Maleme and one on the battles in the East. link Anyone have any opinions on which of these to get first? I have Matildas and a Vickers that are itching to get on the table and break down, does anyone know if tanks appear in scenarios of either book? Cheers- D |

Roy Farran's deathride in a Mk VIB took place at Galatas, in the West: link Mk VIBs, followed by Haka-chanting Maoris? How can you beat that? |

Cool, does anyone know if that action is covered in the first book? |

In the Maleme book Waltzing Matilda has two of those doughty little tanks in it and they are both subject to various mechanical problems which you roll for any time either of them moves. I played this one with the author at a past Historicon and it was a blast! The next scenario is Spandau Ballet and the Kiwis have a captured Italian 65mm gun and the variable attachments give them a small possibility of either a Bren Carrier or a Mark VI. Then comes Haka Charge (which does indeed cover Harran's "deathride") and it has a bunch of Maoris and no less than 3 Mark VIs which are all subject to breakdowns. That's the extent of British vehicles in the book, though. Overall I would recommend Maleme first since it sounds like you have some of the stuff already. I haven't really looked all that closely at the East book since I don't have any suitable 15mm Greeks yet and a good many are needed. If I remember correctly the scenarios looked good, though.
