Alamein: Invade Malta?

[Glenn Saunders]

lured by the mythical "extra supplies". wasn't much of dash eastward after that.

They are not "mythical" - if you select the SO to invaded Malta you will recieve 200 turcks worth of supplies, in the 26th of June 1942 - 100% arrival in the port of Tobruk - but you do have to take Tobruk to get the supplies.

The idea is the is or was considerable interdiction of supplies by sea because Malta or Malta based Aircraft spotted the traffic by sea. If Malta falls these extra supplies will be dispatched and will arrive in Tobruk. I suppose I could have brought them on the west map edge but I thought a drive to Alamein woud only take place after Tobruk falls.

The cost in points for taking the Island of Malt due to Axis Kills is up to you to figure if it is worth it. However the Malta only Scn, as far as I recall is exactly the same as taking this option so you can try it out in a small scn and see if you want to add it to your campaign.

Make no mistake - the extra supply is NOT MYTHICAL - but the cost for getting those truck may or may not be worth it to you in terms of Kills.

Up to you the player which is why it is an OPTION.
