Battle of Malta or Mediterranean - why not?

Tunisia 1942-43 would be nice. American, British, German and Italian a/c.

Make that 1940-1941 and you've already got in COD the German, British, and Italian aircraft you need....just need the Map!

True but the map would have to be over 1000mi long (Alexandria to Tripoli ~900mi).

Don't forget about all the ship and ground models that will have to created that are missing in CloD.

Tunis to Tripoli..and Tunis to Messina. Maximum 450 Miles. 70% Ocean. Piece of cake.

[JG53Frankyboy]

a map covering the Cyreneika would be totaly 'enough' for 41/42 North Africa scenarios....

from Bengahzi to Alexandria that would be 900km most propably something smaller with Tobruk in its "center" would be more possible

There was no Tunis in 1940-41. All the fighting was east of Tripoli.

What you have described is the eastern side of the map I posted.

Correct. My mistake. A map just southern Sicily and Malta would suffice for a Whet-the-appetite Malta mini-front/campaign.

A Map of Balkans would offer another such mini-front/campaign.

Neither would require any acft beyond what is available in COD...and the early Malta/Balkans air war did not involve any major anti-naval activities.

Of course, as has been noted, creating the RN Navy ships would be a major task for later Med Front, Crete and subsequently.

If creating ships is going to be too big a task for the devs for this sim then this sim is going to pretty hamstrung.
