The Spanish Civil War 1937-1939 / Spanischer Bürgerkrieg 1937-1939For IL-2 1946 with BAT 4.2.2 hotfix 4 and Asura’s DGenMOD 2.1. Tested in BAT 4.2.3 without any problems.
This is a complete campaign mod for IL-2 1946 built in BAT 4.2.2 with hotfix 4 applied which is in the works, if someone is interested I can upload the first sub-campaign which is done and every mission has been generated and tested.
This campaign has been under development for a very long time!
I started the historical research in December 2015 and made the first DGenMOD files for the Spanish maps.
But for the actual campaign work I had to wait a few years for Asura to add the Spanish nations to DGenMOD, which were added in
version 2.1.0.0 (Condor Legion, Italian Legionnaires, Spanish Nationalists & Spanish Republic).
My first intention was to make a normal DGen type of campaign, but then I switched my mind and turned for a more historic accurate
one. My goal was to include as many missions as possible, flying for a squadron at the correct time of day, to the correct target
area and facing similar opposition. Because of lack of historic information those historic missions are mixed with "best guess" type
of missions, where the target area is to a likely area, but with the date and time and opposition may not be historically correct.
I'm play testing the campaign, generating every campaign mission to find bugs, so it's thoroughly tested.
Campaign InformationThe Spanish Civil War 1937-39.
The campaign starts with the Biscay offensive on 31 March. The offensive against Vizcaya and its capital Bilbao was to be
spearheaded by Spanish and Italian ground forces backed by Italian light tanks, all under the command of General Emilio Mola, but
the offensive also saw the debut of the steadily re-equipping Staffeln of the Condor Legion. The Heinkel He 51 biplanes with which
Jagdgruppe 88 was initially equipped were shown to be obsolete as air superiority fighters as soon as monoplane Soviet bombers
and fighters started appearing over Spain. Before air supremacy could be gained the development of new German fighter types had
to be completed urgently; and in November 1936 prototypes of the monoplane Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Heinkel He 112 were sent
to Spain. The Condor Legion pilots preferred the Bf 109 and, in March 1937, they started to receive the first operational examples of
what was indisputably the best fighter used in the Civil War. For months the He 51 and Bf 109 co-existed in J/88, with the
monoplanes grouped into the 2./J88 and later 1./J88; while the jealous pilots of 3./J88 specialized in ground-attack missions with the
He 51, the Bf 109s provided top cover.
At this point the only campaign included at this point is the Condor Legion 2./J88 campaign, but it can be expanded in the future if
there are any interest. And if so please let me know which campaigns you would like to have included.
In DGenMOD 2.1.0.0 allows you to more accurately reproduce the conditions for historical missions. This feature allows you to set
up missions to specific target areas at a specified date & time and with specified weather. Transfer missions only allow for mission
date and the new airfield, but it's not possible to specify time and weather.
All campaigns should have correct airfields and transfers and most of the missions are based on historical conditions.
When the historically correct airfield is not present on the IL-2 Spanish maps I've used nearby airfields instead.

RequirementsThis dynamic (DGen) campaign includes Asura’s DGenMOD 2.1.0.0, required with all of its files as included. As a consequence, this
is a standalone campaign: do not try to play it at same time with other DGen campaigns (you can play static campaigns, though).
Other versions of Asura’s DGenMOD, different from that contained in this pack will not work!
The following planes, objects and mods are included since they are missing in BAT 4.2.2 TGA with hotfix 4:Aero_A101 replaced the default skin textures to a Nationalist version, since the stationary plane kept the default skin.
JU_87B1 from BAT WAW dump.
New Countries: SpainCondor & SpainLegion and some edits for Spain Nationalist numbering by vonOben.
New Squadrons: Aviazione Legionaria Squadriglia, Condor Legion, Spanish Republic & Spain Nationalist by vonOben.
Stationary Planes (He45, I_16TYPE10 & JU_87B1) by vonOben.
Stationary Plane Dornie_J_Wal from UltraSpain 2019 by Jir and Ton.
Installation:Since this campaign does alter stock files, and replaces DGen.exe, some Asura’s files and BAT ini files with custom ones, it is
highly recommended to install (and remove, when finished) by Jone Soft Generic Mod Enabler. So open the 7z-file and extract to
your BATMODS folder in the IL-2 1946 main folder and activate through JSGME.
When done, open the menu to start a new career for Condor Legion, you’ll see listed “Spanischer Bürgerkrieg 1937-1939”.
