Battle of Malta or Mediterranean - why not?

The problem is that it's a mostly forgotten theater in a war where Hollywood has told them which battles are important. (Stalingrade, Battle of Britain, Iwo Jima, and naturally D-Day. You, your friends, and the people who frequent these forums probably think it would be awesome to play, but we represent a very small portion of a very small niche market.

There's a reason why you don't see many N. Africa or Eastern front movies in theaters, because the studios have done the research and they rank pretty low in the interest category. I'd love to bust some Hurricanes over the desert in my F-4, but I'd be surprised if I wasn't in the minority when it came to that over a 1944-45 European campaign.
