Greece and Crete

[Fitzwalrus]

Question: if a Power enters and takes over neutral Greece, does the Power gain control of Crete as well or does Crete have to be taken as a separate operation?

It is a separate territory.

@panther Thanks for the response.
So, as Greece is pro-Allies, GB (say) entering Greece would or would not also get control of Crete? Would GB have to send a unit to Crete to gain control?
If Germany (say) invades Greece and defeats her home units, Germany would also have to send a unit to Crete to gain control, yes?
In either case, what happens if neither Power sends a unit to Crete - does it just remain as a tiny pro-Allies neutral?

GB would not get control of Crete. GB needs to move a ground unit into Crete to get control of Crete.

If Germany (say) invades Greece and defeats her home units, Germany would also have to send a unit to Crete to gain control, yes?

Yes. Germany would still need to attack and conquer Crete.

Correct.

In all my games, no units were ever sent to Crete. Cyprus does the job well enough in the rare cases necessary.
