From the publisher:

In the fall of 1943, Churchill tried to induce Turkey to participate actively as an ally against Germany. British forces landed on several of the Dodecanese Islands (Italian possessions in the Eastern Aegean), including Kos and Leros. Hitler, fearing air strikes on the Ploesti oil fields, reacted quickly and generated a disaster for the British. Leros depicts the German invasion of Leros. The battle was the climax of operations in the Aegean a German air and sea invasion against a heavily defended island.

The Tactical Combat Series (TCS) brings the detail of small unit combat to the gaming table. Taking the role of Battalion or Company commander, TCS requires players to skillfully plan their assaults and their defenses through written Operations Sheets (Op Sheets). Units must follow orders as outlined on their Op Sheets. Unexpected circumstances can require split second decisions. Making these decisions is the easy part. Getting the orders to your troops, however, is another matter entirely.
