Taranto. Is there a download for these missions?

Over at M4T I have a 4 mission mini campaign of the Channel Dash - The third mission is the ill-fated Swordfish attack on the Prinz Eugen and Gneisenau on Canon's channel map. As it stands now, it uses a hack for the Fairey Battle as a stand in for the Swordfish - it was the best available at the time - but could easily be converted to use the new Swordfish in the FMB. Haven't had time to do it though.

Cheers - viking

Laziness is the mother of progress. My QMB missions can be found here:

Coming soon, based on my late father's favorite movie...Sink the Bismarck!

Hood has been sunk and Prince of Wales has been badly damaged. Sheffield istracking Bismarck but cannot attack alone. The KG5 and Home Fleet are on the way, but too far to catch Bismarck before she reaches Luftwaffe air cover near France.

Can you, and your fellow Swordfish pilots of the Arc Royal slow down Bismarck enough so that the King Geroge V can catch her? It's late at night and the weather is terrible...but the Prime Minister has said that we must sink the Bismarck.

Line up the attack!

A lucky hit to the rudder!
