Balkan Front recreates the campaign in the Balkans from the autumn of 1940 to the summer of 1941. It covers the failed Italian attempt to conquer Greece, the German blitz which overran Yugoslavia and Greece, and the German airborne assault on Crete. Balkan Front is a complete revision of Marita-Merkur, bringing the state of the art Europa rules, counters, and maps to this classic game. This game includes:

Two revised “new style”. maps covering Yugoslavia, Albania, and Greece.

720 counters covering the campaign forces of Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, Britain, Germany, Hungary, and Bulgaria.

State of the art rules, based on the award-winning Scorched Earth and forthcoming Second Front. Also included are political rules covering the web of Balkan duplicity and intrigue, from unstable Yugoslavia to territory-hungry Bulgaria.

Scenarios covering the grand campaign and the individual campaigns in Greece, Yugoslavia, and Crete, plus some “what if” scenarios.

• One full map and one half map (14A, 15B)
  
  
• Three counter sheets with 720 counters (20A, 21A, 22A). A “refit kit” replaced these with 20A-R, 21A-R, and 22A-R using different color schemes for Yugoslavia and Greece in particular.
