http://axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/ and Friends are very pleased to announce our first official collaborative project, due mid-December.

Skinners include, (in no particular order):
RDDR
Phas3e
Casey1976
Rock
JaRink
Boelcke
Loke
SCENARIOTunisia, North Africa 1942/1943
In the east, the Desert Rats have broken out from El Alamein and chased the retreating Afrika Korps across the sands of Lybia. In the west, American and British forces land in Morocco and Algeria, driving hard towards Tunisia.
Sensing the danger, the Axis forces move swiftly to occupy and fortify Tunisia – the closest link to critical supply bases in Sicily.
The opposing forces collide in a series of vicious battles in the north and south of Tunisia. The armies exhaust themselves, the weather turns foul and both sides consolidate and build up their forces.
In February of 1943, the greatly strengthened armies hurl their newly strengthened forces into battle – the outcome will decide control of the Mediterranean, the oil reserves of the Middle East, and importantly, will lay the way for the opening of a vital second front fro the Allies via the potential invasion of the German Reich’s soft underbelly – Italy!
Enter the fray, first as a pilot of the Jagdgeschwader 53, and then as a pilot in the Desert Air Force!
Currently we are well on our way to having the Luftwaffe side of the campaign complete flying a BF109G4-Trop. We also intend to offer an Allied campaign but that is in the earlier stages of development and is likely to be released later.
It is envisaged that converted versions of the missions will be available too, to allow players to fly the same missions from an FW190 and both a Spitfire and the P40E.
REQUIREMENTSThe campaigns will be for modded installations only. I know some of our IL2 friends prefer the original version but there’s just too much good stuff for us to pass up, sorry.
Specifically it has been built for UltraPack2.01 with one essential addition – MrOblongo’s map of Tunisia, (available from the SAS website).
It should also run on HSFX.
Nearer to release date a comprehensive skin pack will be made available.
