Game Turn 59: 1100, 27th May

Supply Levels



Remaining Layforce commandos keep up the fire against the Germans soldiers, with the massed companies taking some casualties and the motorcycle company receiving a withering fire that wounds and kills many Germans stuck on the open ground.



The LLSR keeps its attack on Canea going, but diverts more mortar troops to help the Gebirgsjager near Suda. The Germans will need to build up some more supplies before they can renew the attack, as the supplies of the GJR 85 are almost spent.



The commandos keep up the fire, suppressing the motorcycle company: meanwhile, forces of the 19th Australian are finally approaching the outer elements of the German force, although with the supply situation as it is, it is unlikely that they will be able to save the forces there.



One final volley from the commandos finally clears the motorcycle company, leaving to flee the area, and also suppresses the Gebirgsjager attacking the dock. Subsequent fire from the engineers also causes appreciable casualties on the Germans as well, thanks to the target-rich environment.



The LLSR mortar companies keep moving up to Suda, setting up their equipment quickly, ready to send barrages down to the docks of Suda in order to extricate the dug-in engineers. This is quickly followed by a barrage of fire, laying down a heavy barrage on the docks, but thankfully the engineers are able to keep their heads up.
