So, what about this? (Inspired from the "Operation Compass successfull" thread)

The British sent 2 divisions and 1 brigade to help the Greeks out, when the Germans started moving South.

What if instead of doing so, the British didn't send these forces to Greece but used them to take the Dodecanese away from the Italians. They have just seen first-hand how easy it is to beat Italian troops in N. Africa, so they decide to give it a shot.

Can they do it?

What happens then?
Will the Germans still attempt taking Crete? Can the British provide better support? Do the British end up having a good base to bomb Ploesti to oblivion?
