Mod based on real historical event during WW2 between May 20 and June 1 1941 as known as operation Mercury. There are two nations in the game presents - British Commonwealth and Germany.
Mod is heavily biassed towards the germans
- British AI is bugged; it only builds rifleman divisions and the occasional tank.
- Bofors does nothing against aircraft, so the germans endlessly bomb you with stukas and you cant stop it.
- many buildings are bugged aka infantry inside them can only shoot out one side, so an enemy infantry squad can just walk up to your building with machinegunners and plink them all to death.
I just was not really into it for one they removed the swastika from the German flags which in its self really doesn't matter i personally just feel that's immersion breaking its part of history sure its a horrible part of history but you watch old WW2 movies they have the flags with that on it im just in it for the immersion and wanna feel like im playing in the real battle thats just my personal opinion i also didnt like that there was only 2 factions which i know it was the only 2 factions that were in the battle just like to have more options otherwise it gets old after awhile all and all good mod but i cant recommend it just didnt seem realistic or historical like it said it was you cant erase what has already happened and cant pretend it never happened mod creator did good though thats why i give it a 4 and not a 2 or 1
Very interesting mod and a good companion to Blitzkreig. It's not a huge mod but what there is in it is very high quality. The map design is sublime with a lot of attention to detail and a good feeling of being in the olive groves of Crete. The doctrine trees are not that extensive but that makes sense in overall simpler but focused approach. Some of the doctrine upgrades could be improved. I found myself always using artillery doctrine when playing as British but maybe that was just my play style. So don your sun hat and prepare to fight in the intense heat of a remote island in the med !
Detail oriented mod, excellent skins and units, it truly feels like youre commanding an airborne invasion. This mod is unique in the way that no other game actually capitalizes recreating the first large scale airborne invasion in history, hence bringing us a much desired game dinamic. Thank you so much for this.
An interesting mod capturing the unique theatre of crete.many neat details like the neccesity for Fallschirmjägers to retrieve their rifles from seperately dropped containers give this mod a unique
personality.Balance is somewhat off,the commonwealth can usually hold off the paratroopers as son as they are able to deploy AA guns and weapon upgrades.
Awesome work. Less is more sometimes, and this mod knows it. Zoom out, balanced docrtines (costs and numbers of uints in group, cost of upgrades etc.) and germans flying everywhere. Decent maps and uints options make this game joyable every match you play. Simple, stict and just perfect.
My favorite Coh Mod. The setting and the atmosphere is unique for a Coh Mod, with much passion for detail. But in my opinion I would enjoy it if the italian and greek troops, like other users mentioned, would be add to this mod. So all in all a very good Mod. :D
One of the Best Coh Mods, but a few things that can be more realistic like that the Brits had a various of tanks not just "matilda". And you should add the Greek and Italian troops, not necessarily as own factions but in any way. All in all a really good modification.
A great,fun and unique mod!
