I don't know if this issue has been raised before, but it's a rather cosmetic one.

I took Crete in 43 with the Italians and while no German unit was ever involved, I received a "Germany launches Operation Mercury" pop-up complete with a nice pic. [:D] No other effect.
I can only guess that Mussolini wasn't too pleased and phoned Hitler to complain afterwards.

Edit: the same picture would have been handy when the fallschirmjäger took Malta [;)]

You are right, it's just a bit of historical ambience and can occasionally pop up in other circumstances.

Should just be renamed 'Axis launch operation mercury'

Thanks. Flavor events are indeed really nice.

Indeed. I'll probably do it myself once I get into the (minor) modding phase of playing this game.
