*
2._ If you select the Limited Reinforcements you will be awarded 50 extra core points and you will score a Marginal Victory (2 + 1 next scenario = 3 campaign points).*
*

NOTES:*

For normal level players I strongly advise you to choose the first option and receive the extra 100 points core force.*

Anzac Corps assembles on the Thermopylae Line *

In 480 BC Xerxes, the Persian, unable to force the coastal gap, had sent his Immortals into the Asopos Gorge. Thence, after a short distance, they had turned eastwards up the ridges and through the groves of oak to surprise the Phocian sentries and outflank the forces of Leonidas, the Spartan king. In April 1941, with the Australians holding Brallos Pass, there was no danger of another surprise attack by this route, but the natural advantages of the Thermopylae–Brallos line could still be seriously threatened. If the Germans were able to seize the island of Euboea they could outflank the New Zealand sector. Should they circle through the mountains to the west they could come in behind the Australians by way of the secondary roads to Gravia and Amfissa, or, if they followed the roads from Epirus, they could turn in along the north coast of the Gulf of Corinth towards Amfissa and Delphi. Much therefore depended upon the resistance of the Greeks along this western flank.*
