Greece and Crete
-
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? -

Yes. Germany would still need to attack and conquer Crete.
In either case, what happens if neither Power sends a unit to Crete - does it just remain as a tiny pro-Allies neutral?
Correct.

@panther That answers that! :grin:
Thanks for the info. :+1: -

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