Nice campaign, Scrapper, thanks. It gives plenty of good action, both air and ground.

I have one correction, and one suggestion.

 

The correction is that the name of the Spitfire Vb Trop in the sim is "SpitfireVBT", not "Spitfire5BT", and those references should be changed in the campaign Data.INI file.

 

The suggestion is to add the Henschel Hs-129 to the unit mix. This aircraft was used quite a bit in Tunisia, and there is a good desert skin for the release version. I have changed a couple of the Ju-88A4 squadrons to Hs-129s in my install of this campaign (and changed the mission assigments to exclusively Strike, CAS and Armed Recon), and have them showing up fairly often.

Thanks for trying my campaign. The real life version was the VB Tropical, but the version downloaded from CA shows as the Spitfire5BT. It works fine on my system with this reference. You are right about the HS-129s. I couldn't find what German unit operated it in North Africa 1943, otherwise I would have included it.

 

With Regards,

I must be still using a pre-release version!

If the release version is "Spitfire5BT", then that is the correct reference for the campaign, of course.

 

I found a couple of references to North African Hs-129s at Wings Pallete (http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/a/313/2/0)

The squadrons seem to be 4/SchG 2 and 8/SchG2.
