Alamein: Invade Malta?

[Jazman]

Anyone played the campaign scenario where you get to decide whether or not to invade Malta? I'm interested in how things went.

I was playing as German (a year or two ago), with Explicit Supply on. I invaded Malta, lured by the mythical "extra supplies". What a mess it turned out to be. I ran out of supplies on the island (took too long to clear the island, and after some point no more supplies show up), and there was a stack of Brits in a bunker, and I just couldn't dislodge them. So there they sat for the rest of the game. The bigger problem was on the first day I was hit with a storm and my opponent pulled his Tobruk units in, and that was a mess cleaning it out.

Also, since it was the first big game I played with Explicity Supply on, I totally mismanaged that. It wasn't much of dash eastward after that.
