MEDITERRANEAN
FURY
The Battle of Cape Matapan
March 27-29, 1941
Mediterranean
Fury: The Battle of Cape Matapan
is a wargame simulation on the
naval action that occurred near Crete during World
War II. The game design is and highly playable, yet one that portrays
the historical challenges facing the combatants.
Goaded by their
German Allies into taking some sort of action to
disrupt the British reinforcements being rushed to
Greece, and smarting from the
humiliation of the British air raid a few months
earlier at Taranto, the Italian fleet
set sail on March 27, 1941. Italian Admiral Iachino
sought to intercept the British reinforcement
convoys east of Crete.
Admiral Cunningham, alerted to the Italian fleet’s
sortie, set sail to do battle. The resultant clash
off of Greece’s
Cape Matapan on the 28th would be the only time the
Italian Navy challenged the English for control of
the
Middle
Sea. It would also be the
last time the Royal Navy would do battle on the high
seas with an enemy fleet.
