Overview

This is a very simple simulation of the famous "Malta Convoy" that took place during WWII. The people on Malta were literally starving while under constant bombardment from German and Italian forces.

The allies determined to send a convoy of supplies to Malta, running the gauntlet of enemy forces for hundreds of miles.

This dice game allows you to recreate this epic and dangerous journey.

It is a web published game and available from...
