Campaign Series: Operation Battleaxe 1941!
#1

Now that the three campaigns for kapteenis Svir map are just about finished, I have started work on a series of North Africa campaigns, all set in June 1941, during "Operation Battleaxe", the British attempt to push the Afrika Korps back from the gates of Egypt, and all using JAVA69_BADA's super "N.E. Libya a.k.a Tobruk" map.

The first of these five campaigns is now ready. In it you are a German fighter pilot in JG27, flying the Bf 109E. You main opponents are Hurricanes of different marks, plus Tomahawks (the Tomahawk made its combat debut in North Africa during "Operation Battleaxe").

The campaign can be found in the specialised downloads section om Mission4Today: http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3

Here are some screenies, just to whet your appetite:

Notice that there is also pretty much ground action going on, much of it - as in reality - centered around the famous Halfaya Pass, which the Allies in vain tried to penetrate:

The campaign comes with ten skins, by, among others Canon_UK and VP-media. (More credits in the campaign read-me.)

In the four upcoming campaigns you will be able to fly as a
- German Stuka pilot
- Italian G.50 pilot
- Allied Hurricane IIc pilot, mainly in the ground support role
- Allied Tomahawk II pilot, mainly in the fighter role

The first of these should be ready by next week. I have only one caveat: when Canons Channel 1940 map comes out I will put ALL these aside, and just work on campaigns for that one... Smile
