Lion's Lair: Malta Convoy Battles 1940-42

A rather simple game following the 3-4 day track of convoys from Gibraltar and Alexandria to Malta in the face of Stukas, torpedobombers, high-altitude Italian bombers, MAS torpedo boats, U-boats and Italian submarines, and the Italian navy. Battleships and carriers (usually) in single ship units, cruiser divisions, and convoys. 10th Army's/Afrika Korps' progress ... or retreat ... inversely proportionate to Malta's strength. One representational convoy each may start from G and A per season - 11 seasons total, unless Malta falls or Alamein or Tripoli fall. Summer 1940 and Operation Pedestal (Summer 1942) scenarios or campaign game.
