At bloody last.

 

[Spinners 15,966]

It's those shark-mouthed Vampires that won it for you! 

[Stick 773]

Come to think of it, I haven't won a campaign in years!

[+1977Frenchie 1,037]

How many missions you made?

 

I know the European campaign is long, as the Korean one and the Rolling Thunder

[+Major Bloodnok 463]

It was 30 missions.

It was based on the expansion pack 1956 campaign, but set in 1951(Korean war spread to Europe) and using northern germany nato sector units only. So no USAF, WGerman(not reconstituted yet) or French units.

RAF:

Vampires(4 wings), a squadron of Meteors only for Recon(FR9), 1 squadron of Canberras from offmapbase base RAF Binbrook and 2 squadrons of Washingtons from offmapbases.

Holland:

Meteors and Thunderjets.

Belgium:

Meteors and Thunderjets.

Denmark:

Meteors.

I have since learned, that Norway Vampires were regularly based in North Germany(Schleswig) at that time and Norway/Denmark PR Spitfires were regularly used.

For Soviet etc units:

Mig15, Mig15bis, Yak-23, IL28, Tu-4 from offmapbase and I looked down the list of units in the campaign for 1956 Mig15 units that were tasked with CAS, SEAD etc and changed them to IL10 "Beast" units, that were still to be used for such missions in 1951, if there was a war.

Would be interested in trying your campaign, if you are inclined to share.

 

Thanks.

Here it is.

The main ini is set up with a choice of starting the campaign flying with one of two Vampire squadrons.


There are some units based at airbases not in the default targets ini. Especially 3 UK offmapbases,


[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=RAF Marham
Position=94750,662250
ActiveDate=0
Location=13
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=RAF Coningsby
Position=115250,732750
ActiveDate=0
Location=13
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=RAF Binbrook
Position=101750,702500
ActiveDate=0
Location=13
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE


This means, also you have to add Location013=UK to the GERMANYCE_NATIONS.ini

There are also soviet,

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Tartu Airbase
Position=889000,907000
ActiveDate=0
Location=3
Alignment=ENEMY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Orsha Airbase
Position=905000,769000
ActiveDate=0
Location=3
Alignment=ENEMY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Uzyn Airbase
Position=918000,358000
ActiveDate=0
Location=3
Alignment=ENEMY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Engels Airbase
Position=923000,532000
ActiveDate=0
Location=3
Alignment=ENEMY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

one Danish and some dutch/belgian/german added airbases mentioned.

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Beauvechain Airbase
Position=135900,462000
Location=9
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Soesterberg Airbase
Position=161000,599000
Location=7
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Leeuwarden Airbase
Position=190000,700000
Location=7
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Skrydstrup Airbase
Position=410000,893469
Location=10
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Volkel Airbase
Position=192000,552000
Location=7
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Florennes Airbase
Position=130000,410000
Location=9
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Schleswig Airbase
Position=430000,816000
Location=1
Alignment=FRIENDLY
OffMapAirBase=TRUE

As you can see from below, the campaign is focused on North Germany.

AirOffensive[001].Primary=LARGE_RUNWAY,MEDIUM_RUNWAY
AirOffensive[001].Secondary=WAREHOUSE
AirOffensive[001].FocusArea=North Germany

If you wish to take advantage of this, add this to your targets ini.

[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=North Germany
Position=609000,710000
Radius=115000
Location=01
Alignment=ENEMY

The ground units include Centurion5 as there is no earlier Centurion available, so in the Centurion5 data ini, change the ServiceStartYear=1951, but not to worry the M-41 tank will show up instead, if this is not done.
