I have started work on a campaign for the Henschel 129B, set in North Africa, and using the WONDERFUL new map of the Mediterranean.



In November 1942 4/Sch.G. 2 (12 aircraft) was sent to Libya, as Luftwaffe reinforcements after the battle of El Alamein. The Staffel was under the command of Captain Bruno Mayer, a Knight Cross carrier and experienced ground atack pilot.

The first combat sortie was flown on November 17, against a British armoured column: two vehicles was knocked out, and the appearance of this new, gun-toting aircraft caused a bit of a panic among the Brits.

But stiffening fighter opposition, lack of spares and - not least - the desert sand, soon proved too much for 4/Sch.G. 2. In January 1943 they had only one serviceable HS 129 left.

The HS 129 is sluggish and tricky to fly, but the firepower is amazing...

Right now I have a couple of other campaigns before it in the pipeline:

A.) Three campaigns for the upcoming Svir Front map.

B.) A collection of campaigns (two German, one Italian, two Allied) portraying the aerial fighting that took place during Operation Battleaxe 1941, using the Libya map.

C.) Battle of Britain campaigns using the forthcoming 1940 map by Canon Uk and Compans.

D.) A German fighter campaign portraying the attacks on Malta in 1941


So many campaigns, so little time... :?

But it will come!
