I just don't get why he didn't try to take the island as soon as he entered the war. From what I've heard it wasn't that heavily fortified at the time---and if he'd launched a amphibious assault it probably would have fallen. Even if he didn't have the capability the Germans did---I would think in the grand scheme of things Malta should have been slightly more important to take than Crete, especially since it's a key British base easily within range of Sicily.
