Well, as it happens last week I started on a series of campaigns, designed to fit together, in order to portray the Italian Airforce in WW2, from 1940 to 1945!
What has prompted me to do it, is the fact that we now have a number of VERY good maps that can be used or this purpose! (And that all Italian campaigns around - and many are really good - almost to a man are stuck to the pre-MOD maps, using the fantasy sand-coast map, the tiny mountain map etc.) Also: we now have the fabolous new Cant Z1007, and don't have to fly around escorting SB's any more...
I have completed the first campaign, the war against France in june 1940, using zips lovely Alpen West map: there you getto fly the CR.42 against MS.406's and Curtiss Hawks - over the Alps! That can be tough, believe me.
Right now I am working on the East African Campaign in August-September 1940, using Kapteenis East Africa map. And the next step is of course the Italian part in the Battle for Britain, where you will fly in CR.42's (or possibly G.50's) over Cannons (old) Channel map - I've already done some populating there.
And I'm always on the look-out for playtesters: if there is anyone out there willing to have a go, just PM me!
