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.
