Add the topo lines on the inset map provided above, and the photo of the southeastern Maltese coast, and it starts to look like 1st Wake crossed with Tanga and the mole at Zeebrugge.

Unlike the Imperial forces on Crete who had the disadvantage of poor comms and incomplete ToE and some serious loss of cohesion due to their hasty evacuation from Greece (for example they had virtually no Telephone cable and this resulted in poor communication between sub units) while in Malta this reinforced regular Division was operating from a fortified Island with a full ToE and stacks of AAA.
