Malta Scenarios for 1940 -41
Strafing at Kalafrana Bay
On a number of occasions allied planes were strafed on the ground. The flying boat base at
Kalafrana Bay was no different and they lost a number of Sunderlands and other aircraft anchored there. On one occasion, Munchberg of JG/26 was seen to dive onto a moored
Sunderland and strafe, setting it on fire.
Forces
Axis
2 Bf109E-7s with one expert (+1 to each skill roll) pilot and one normal pilot.
Allied
4 Hurricane I with average pilots
Target
1 Sunderland moored in the water
Scenario Conditions
 Place the Flying boat anywhere in the defenders ¼ to 1/3 rd of the table. The Defenders and attackers should start at opposite ends of the table, with the attackers moving first.
 The attackers will always get +1 to their initiative roll each turn.
 Strafing of the flying boat can only be carried out from Altitude 1. Altitude 0 is the drink and should be avoided!
Victory Conditions
Win
Attackers If they destroy the
Flying Boat but not lose more than half casualties
Defenders If they cause at least half casualties and the
Flying Boat survives
If the Flying Boat is destroyed
Loss
If they inflict less than half damage and lose more than half casualties
Draw
Any other result
Any other result

Scenario Variation
Both sides lost a number of Flying boats and Sea Planes to fighter attacks during the campaign and the Italian sea base at Syracuse was also strafed a number of times by allied aircraft. To represent an attack on an Italian aircraft change the forces to the following:-
Forces
Target
1 Cant Z.506B Airone or
1 Cant Z.501 Gabbiano
Defenders
4 Cr42 Falco or
4 MC200 Saetta
Attackers
2 Hurricane MkI or
2 Hurricane MkIIA or
2 Fulmar I
Scenario and Victory conditions should be the same as above.
Airfield attack
This scenario is typical of the constant attacks on airfields, during the defence of Malta. Newer pilots to Malta were shocked to find themselves under attack with very little warning and struggled to climb to altitude in time. This was a change from the Battle of Britain days when the defences had enough time to get airborne and climb to the meet the attackers.
In 1941 came the introduction of the Luftwaffe and JG/26 to Sicily, and they brought with them some very experienced pilots and excellent aircraft. This briefly helped to tip the balance in the
Axis’s favour until they departed for Greece??.
Forces
Attackers
4 Bf109E-7s with one expert (+1 to each skill roll) pilot and three normal pilots or
4 MC200 Saettas
2 Cr42 Falcos or
2 Bf109E-7s
4 Ju87B/R Stuka
The fighters may carry one 250lb bomb each and the Stukas may carry 2x250lb or 1x500lb bomb each.
Defenders
2 Hurricane MkIIA
2 Hurricane MkIIA (start at 3 levels lower than the attackers)
1 Medium AA battery (40mm Bofors)
1 Light AA battery (twin 7.7 Lewis AA guns)
Scenario Conditions
Terrain

A small runway(s) should be set up in the defenders 1/3 rd of the table along with some stone buildings, tents and hangars. AA guns can be placed any where within the perimeter of the airfield. The aircraft targets should be scattered randomly around (a lot of photos show them in the open, rather than protected by sandbag positions). For the models we recommend using
1/300 or 1/600 th models (We use 1/600 th scale Tumbling Dice models as our targets as they cover all the aircraft used in Malta). The aircraft were roughly split amongst the 3 main airfields as follows:-
Hal Far contained the bombers and torpedo aircraft – eg. Swordfish, Beauforts and Wellingtons
Luqa and Takali were where the fighter squadrons were stationed –eg. Gladiators, Fulmars, and
Hurricanes
Targets
Up to 6 targets with total damage points of no more than 120pts. These targets can be any of the one listed above, depending on models you have available. The attacker should concentrate on the stationary aircraft and get no victory points for destroying buildings or AA Guns.
Note: The AA batteries will shoot at the closest target (friend or foe)! Each time they shoot at an aircraft roll a D6, on a roll of 1 they will not fire because it has been identified as a friendly aircraft.
Victory Conditions
Win
Attackers If they inflict < 70pts of damage
Draw
If they inflict > 70pts of damage but have half their force remaining
Any other result Defenders If they received >
60pts of damage on grounded aircraft
Loss
Lose more than half their forces and inflict > 70pts damage
If they received < 60pts of damage on grounded aircraft
The attackers should concentrate on the stationary aircraft and they get no victory points for destroying buildings or AA Guns.
Malta Harbour
This scenario is based on one of the many raids on Malta Harbour. Rather than bombing particular targets (ie ships) the attackers in this scenario are carrying out area bombing,.
Forces
Attackers
Because of the small number of German fighters, Italian fighters were often used to escort
German bombers and they seemed to co-ordinate this task quite well. The attacking forces should total between
Bombers
4 Ju88D or
4 He111 or
4 Sm79 or
4 Br20M
Escorts
6 Cr42 Falco or
6 MC.200 Saetta or
4 Bf110C or

4 Me110C-4 or
4 Me109E-7
Defenders
The defenders may buy a combination of different fighters as they often used everything they could to repel the attacks.
Fighters (up to 4 of each type)
Fulmar 1
Hurricane MkI
Hurricane MkIIA
Gloster Gladiators
Ground Defences (310pts)
3 Medium AA batteries (twin 40mm Bofors)
4 Hvy AA batteries (4.1’ guns)
Terrain
Place the area markers anywhere in the defenders ¼ to 1/3 rd of the table to represent Malta harbour. The harbour can be represented by pieces of cloth or rocky terrain with buildings scattered on them. (We use 1/1200 th scale buildings for this)
Scenario Conditions
 The AA batteries will shoot at the closest target (friend or foe)!
 AA guns are limited to 3 rounds of shooting each (due to limited ammo supplies on the island)
Victory Conditions
Use the standard victory conditions in the Scramble Rule book for calculating the victors.
Attack on the British fleet
Attackers
Because of the small number of German fighters, Italian fighters were often used to escort

6 x Cr42 Falco

Maryland Attacks – Dec 41
During late 1941 the Axis starting to send fuel and supplies to North Africa with flights of transports. This was partly brought about because of the heavy shipping losses they were sustaining. The Germans used Ju52s loaded with fuel supplies to North Africa

 The Ju52s must try and fly in formation
 The Ju52 are classed as loaded
