Matapan: The Naval Battle for Greece, Mar41 is dedicated to ...
A. The people of Greece who endured great hardship supporting Britain's and the Allies' war against Nazi aggression and tyranny.
B. The servicepeople of the Britain and the Commonwealth and Greece who fought that defense.
C. My children Rebecca, Robert, Rohan, and Johanna, in the hope that they may never have to go through a world war:

The more we learn about the Second World War, the better our chances that it will be the LAST world war.


A Request: If you do assemble and play this free game of mine, PLEASE let me know at ELCOAT@hotmail.com what you think of it and whether, after more than a couple games, you think one side or the other has an advantage. Thanks!
And now: Here are the Matapan: The Naval Battle for Greece, Mar41 components, to print off and assemble so that it may be played. Players-students will also need a single six-sided die (or chits numbered 1-6, to be drawn out of a hat) for the randomized combat results tables.
First is the game at 40mis/64kms per hex, which may be better - faster and more realistic as far as ship speed - than the earlier 30mis/48kms per hex version:

Here are playing aids for both versions:

And now the earlier 30 mile per hex game version:

More comments by myself and others about the game can be read on Talk Consimworld Com and BoardGameGeek.
