Last year I played a few scenarios set in Heraklion in 1941 featuring the Germans fighting the Cretans inside the city - here’s a few photos.

Very cool! Some of the pics look like they were in the latest copy of WSS #100. They have a whole spread about the FJs.

Great set up :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Love the terrain.
So well done.
Can we see more?

Those look very cool. What make are the gendarmes?

Thanks! The gendarmes are conversions, mostly Woodbine ww1 Ottoman Turks (plus a few Footsore BUF And Tiger Miniatures WW1 Greeks). I swapped the heads for Woodbine French with kepis and green stuffed some boots.

Thanks! Yes, the photos are some of my iPhone shots from that WSS photo session.

Very cool conversions!

Very well done.
The figures and the scenery are brilliant.

Congratulations! Nice idea and extremely well execution. Well done!
for an added variety you could use a couple of Tiger miniatures Greek balkan wars infantry with italian helmets and the gorgon studios Greek partisans which has a couple of miniatures with cretan traditional breeches.

By the way: all gendarmes should have one chevron! Their NCOs should have 2 or 3.

Thank you! That’s helpful to know about the gendarmes. I actually painted chevrons on all of them originally, then got rid of them because I thought it was wrong...should have checked here first!
I have some Tiger Greeks and spare helmets but haven’t done any conversions yet. The Gorgon Cretans are already in the collection though😁.

This is an excellent project and being honest an aspect of the campaign I'd never even thought about.
-
Excellent brushwork and terrain! Thanks for posting.
-
Inspirational work! Leaves one wanting to go about building terrain and converting! :o

I just remembered that there is a small range of ww2 Greek infantry by Burn's miniatures

alas the majority is with greatcoat, which means that they not suitable for Crete, since the weather was very hot for greatcoats. Only one officer from the command pack has not the greatcoat.
Italian helmets can be found from warlord games but probably you already know that.
-
Thank you. I looked at the Burns Miniatures a couple of years ago ‘in the lead’ and just thought they were too slender to
mix with the rest of our group’s collection (chunkier sculpts like Artizan, Crusader, Gorgon and Foundry.) They remain the only Greek ww2 range out there though.

Great looking minis and terrain, captures the feel of Crete perfectly.

Stunning! Enjoyed the article a lot btw.

Thanks! We’re playing the Chania Gate scenario again next week - not done it with Chain of Command yet so should be an interesting game.
