Overview
The conflict in the eastern Mediterranean, on the border between Europe and Asia, has been simmering for some time now. Several of the smaller Blueland islands have already been invaded by Redland forces and thus far the United Nations (UN) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) have turned a blind eye.
This laissez-faire approach has only served to encourage Redland to try to seize the jewel in the crown: the strategically important island of Crete.
While there hasn’t been an all-out war declared officially yet, only mostly local skirmishes with (thankfully) few casualties, things are about to change rather soon now with a massive attempt underway of Redland ground forces aiming towards the south-eastern sea.
Said to be the birthplace of European civilization, with culturally advanced Minoan settlements reaching as far back as 3,000 years BC, Crete’s strategic position commanding the southern Mediterranean and the Libyan Sea, is simply too tempting to go unnoticed for long whenever a power vacuum presents itself.
At the centre of countless struggles in the past, with different empires tugging and tearing at it from east, west, north and south, “Nisi Kriti” will find itself the centerpiece of yet another one. You’re going to be in the very midst of it flying your F-16-C52+340 Viper from Santorini Airbase (LGSR) attempting to stop the invading forces who have, according to intel, already managed to set up a major bridgehead near Sitia situated in the east of the island.
Some Redland forces are also reported to be making another attempt on the island from the South, so you’d better be on a constant lookout patrolling the southern mountain ranges near Plakias for surprise offensives from enemy ground forces.
Redland forces aim to occupy as much of Crete as they can before UN peacekeeping forces arrive and a ceasefire is declared. The historical and administrative capital of Heraklion city is their main target but they also intend to capture the cities of Chania and Rethimnon.
Once you’ve installed the Kritiki Theatre you’ll find a full campaign guide in your Add-On Kritiki\Docs – Extras\ folder.

After installing ktitiki my logbook became completely unusable I can’t even select it instead of Joe pilot from the popup list. Does anyone have the same prob? Changing theater doesn’t resolve the issue…strange…
Edit…Sorry my bad …its in the hot list. I ve deleted dx9display.dsp due to CTD no UI start after a massive power blackout in my home area…

Removed the Typhoon wingview fix as it’s going to break some installs and should be taken care of with / by the new update. Thanks to Duke748 for the heads-up!
