There are ways around Malta and Europe Air war. The problem only really arises in the Pacific. It is not bad, but it is not what it could be. I am actually working on a Malta campaign for DCG right now, and it will only be an air war. I have put some triggers in to end the campaign in two ways.
What you have stated is not a problem with Malta, because Malta was never actually invaded. Therefore there is no need to move fronts on Malta. However, in the Pacific, several Islands were invaded and captured. In order to do a good campaign in the Solomons, you have to invade each Island and have it change hands ... which is ONLY done in a ground war.
Europe is the same way as Malta. You can just have a ground war that is in constant stalemate and put in a trigger to end the campaign near the correct date. That doesn't work so well with the Pacific theater ...
