Matla and Gibraltar

[nnason]

Page 164 of the hard copy 2016 Manual Part 3 Strategy Guide Para 1.4 The importance of Malta and Gibraltar. Currently
what are the specific effects for the Axis or the Allies holding one or both of these?

[BillRunacre]

There are two Supply scripts triggered by Malta reducing the strength of Axis held resources in the Med.

I've pasted them below, but in essence:

1) A 15% chance per turn of Tripoli, Sirte, El Agheila, Benghazi and Derna receiving 1-2 points of damage.

2) A 20% chance per turn of Tobruk, Bardia, Sidi Barrani, Mersa Matruh, El Alamein and Alexandria receiving 1-2 points of damage.

With Gibraltar, there is a 25% chance per turn of the following Allied held resources suffering 1-2 points of damage (I don't have a list of resource names handy, but they can be observed on the map):
