---Historic Background-----
After the fall of mainland Greece, the Allies fell back to the island of Crete. The Royal Navy sent Force C [3 Cruisers including the HMS Fiji & 4 K class DD's] to stop any Axis invasion plans.  On Crete the RAF could only muster a few squadrons of Hurricanes [33, 80 & 112 Sqdns] to oppose the Luftwaffe.  On the ground Matilda tanks for lack of spares were turned into mobile pill boxes and defended by troops from New Zealand.
The Axis battle plans included a daring use of Paratroopers to capture the islands airfields at Malme and other key strategic points. Lehergeschwader 1(K)/LG1 led the efforts to neutralize Allied shipping and supply ports with pin point attacks in the Ju-88A-4.

No chance of adding a limited (4) flight of JU-52's w/ paras to this map .. targeting the airfield ?

[Kari]

That would be pretty cool Poker!

...i'll do my best to wake up to join the BN...but it's gonna be at 05 a.m. here...prettu damn early!
However, if i don't drink too much tonight...i may be there ;-)

[AJK]

There will be paratroop drops..look for them over crete!

[AJK]

Well, the paratroops were a really, really bad idea.  Despite the testing we did priot to the map running they really turned out to be bad.  So thank you to all who hung in there while we changed maps.

We will run this map the first part of August with no paratroops....lol. 

S!

AJ - are you sure the paras were the problem. We have a Crete map on one of the local Aussie servers and it includes a mass para drop and it doesn't cause any great loss in performance except a small slow down as the AI Ju52s spawn in. One thing is the Ju52s don't spawn in until about half way through the map. Prior to the Ju's spawning in, the map has a constant stream of AI 109s and 110s spawning in to soften up the Crete defences.

[AJK]

Yes I am.  It happened the moment the Ju-52's spawned in and when they dropped it basically shut the server down.  During testing with about 6 of us it didnt have any impact.  I figured it had to do with about 50 pilots in game having a greater impact than a few. 
I am open to ideas on how to fix it as it would make for some really fun BN or special events. PM me with info if you have it. Thanks.
