Highlights of 1565 Siege of Malta:
Both sides have elite units that can affect battle results with die re-rolls. These are limited so deciding when to use them is important.
The siege in 1565 was during the early days when gunpowder came into use. Each side has very limited use of gunpowder for musketry which can help their odds of success.
The Turks also have limited gunpowder for artillery. While in supply they can bombard the Malta forts. The Turks also have a siege tower they can use.
