There's nothing like reading a good book to get in the mood for a wargame [:)]
Anyone have any recommendations for good history books about the Greek/Crete campaign, or any of the battles covered in CotA?
It's not an area I know much about, but I'd love to know more before the games release.

Osprey just published one of their Campaign Series books on Crete. I haven't received my copy yet, but these are usually a fairly good primer on the subject. Here's a link if you're interested.

Try "Conquest of the Balkans" in the Third Reich Series by Time Life ISBN 0-8094-6979-0, 1990.
Covers the invasions of Yugoslavia, through Greece and Crete in beautiful detail with lovely maps and richly interspersed with photos and graphics.
