Malta Strategy For Axis

[David Hansen]

First campaign...using the Total Realism Mod 1.61a-what is the best strategy for the Axis to gain control of Malta in support of the NA campaign? What is the best timing for the capture of Malta...right after the fall of France?
TXS for any insights. (BTW-difficulty is set on the medium/intermediate level.)

To hit Malta you will need to sacrifice your bombing of the UK. It would also help if the Italians have all their planes as well to help out.

Bomb it with strat and medium bombers (first malta to 0 then the ports)

Then keep the supply at 0 and hit it with tactical bombers till the unit is dead, then drop a para on it.
