I have a monster wargame project which is starting about rightnow. It is the simulation of a conflict in the Aegean which sees Greece and Turkey as the starting actors. I will be posting about the operations, and if someone gets interested, any suggestions regarding operations to undertake, force management and everything else will be nore than welcome. Comments and criticism is welcometoo. All the units have fictional names, exept for some naval units. Any other denominations which by chance matches its real counterpart is accidental.
"The Khania Incident".
The following action took place presumably about 200 kilometers nortwest of the Island of Crete on a Friday morning. It was the 19th of June 2009.
This is the (unfortunately) incomplete registration of the Khania Incident.
According to the information released during the press conference following the incident, “Pirate” was an Embraer EMB-145 Airborne Radar of the Ellenic Air Force, and “Shadow” was a flight of F-16D Block 52 Plus also of the Ellenic Airforce. Greek Authorities never disclosed any details on the nature and composition of the aggressors.
