The Pact of Steel: Axis Ascendancy
Egypt and India have fallen to the Axis powers, who now control the Suez Canal and with it, access to the Eastern Mediterranean.
Japanese victory at Midway and in the Aleutians, and the Imperial occupation of Hawaii, has penned the US Pacific Fleet into its west coast continental American bases.
A successful German offensive through the Caucasus has brought the Wermacht to the borders of Asia. Leningrad has fallen and Moscow is under heavy siege.
There is one ray of light for the Allied cause: the Operation Torch landings have granted the Allies a foothold on the fringes of Occupied Europe.
Imperial Japan resolves to lend Fast Attack Carrier Air Support to its German and Italian brethren and drive the Allies finally from Africa. . .

Thanks to the AvHistory team for taking up the challenge of developing WW2 prop FMs for TK's series of sims. Cheers guys ;-)
This is my little contribution to the process, a testbed campaign for the beta FMs as they are released. I will try to add more of the "Gang of 10" test aircraft as they become available.
I am running this campaign in SFG patched up to Oct 08 level, but it should work fine in the SF2 series as well.
There are a few requirements:
AvHistory beta FM planes - P-51D-30, FW-190D-9, P-47M and A6M5c
-currently available in 3rd party mod section at capun's Skunkworks
EDIT: the P-51, P-47M and A6M5c are now available here at CA. Thanks to the AvHistory team for granting permission to post their FMs here, and to the original creators of these birds (WOLF257, ArmourDave and Russo).

- ships by the DAT team and Hinchinbrooke.
I have also included a couple of modded terrain .ini files, based on Edward's originals. I have just changed the alignment of a couple of target areas in the targets.ini to get the front line to work properly. I have also included and updated terrain_DATA.INI so that the terrain will work with the Oct 08 and later versions of the game.
Install the above items, drop the "WW2Test" folder into your campaign folder, and use the included terrain.ini files in the Tunisia terrain.
You may meet a few old friends over the skies of Tunisia ;-)
