Alamein: Invade Malta?

[Jazman]

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.

I should have made more clear, I wasn't being critical of the game--as though I received no extra supplies--but of my own incompetence as a quartermaster. Whatever I was getting went into a blackhole, for sure. Naturally such incompetence made me susceptible to the lure of extra supplies which I would get by invading Malta, which didn't turn out too well. I never cleared it, and lost a lot of men (points) doing it.
