 "Όχι  - No"
(alleged reply of Prime Minister Metaxas when presented with the Italian ultimatum on 28. October 1940)

                 
Tomorrow, 28 October, is the Greek national holiday, the "Ochi" day.
Here's a little campaign to commemorate it. As far as I know, it is the first Hellenic campaign ever made for IL-2.
Not the first Hellenic campaign but the first for mods: planes, the map, all there now.

16 missions spanning from November 1940 to April 1941, when the Germans invaded through Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.





Jump into the cockpit of the famed PZL P.24f/g and fight the Fascist juggernaut. You are a pilot of 22.Mira, stationed in Saloniki, fighting Italian bombers, patrolling the front lines, hunting columns... Upset the Italian war machine in the white and blue skies over Greece.
The CO of 22. Mira, Captain Andreas Antoniou was going to become the leading Hellenic AF ace with six confirmed victories, all on the P.24

You can play highest rank or any rank you like.








I made set of skins for the P.24 with Loku's template and whipped up a basic Avro Anson, most other skins are simply from my archives.
Kudos to all the skinners out there!

enjoy

v2: repair in folder path: GR was missing

PLUS: new Hellenic award set and ranks sheet!
Included and ready to use!

PLUS: A cleaned up Greek speech pack
I removed all the remaining English phrases in the original beta speech pack, which also is integrated in BAT, so some minor comments will remain silent but you will only hear Greek chatter in the air with this new GR folder

https://www.mediafire.com/file/fwqx1r3e1nzd8t3/GR_clean.zip/file

Remove  "Samples/Speech/GR"  folder
Replace with new "GR" folder
Do not just overwrite or you won't lose the deleted phrases!

Many thanks Andy, perfect gift for tomorrow's national holiday!!!!

AFAIK, this isn't the first, but this is certainly the most complete one.

One already exists, but it was made over 13 years ago for Forgotten Battles here: http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=116

Thanks very much for this, looking forward to playing it!

[Vampire_pilot]

Oh, interesting find. Made with stock content even.  Back when...
I stand corrected.


BTW, this campaign is semi-realistic.
I used correct dates and aircraft type match-ups, but it is not a detailed recount. Set your own score
I finished with ~6000 points and 4 awards


One last look before we move out...

[Vampire_pilot]

a heads up:

in the very first version, the folder path was wrong: "GR" campaign folder was missing. Please be aware or download v2.

My God, since I was waiting for this campaign thanks a lot SAS ~ vampire_pilot for sharing

Hello vampire_pilot, inspired by your campaign, I tried to make several skins for SB2C-5 that are not present in this campaign, but have a fairly simple Void file from which I could make these skins (single-color ), I'm not sure if they are of good enough quality but in the end decided to share them, maybe someone will find them useful .
The Greeks used Helldivers in the late 1940s. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ynsYDGCzr-k2I6RwJoTiAMeW522tnIvF/view?usp=sharing

Best regards,

That was during the Greek civil war, 1946-1949...

[Piotrek1]

it's true, after the civil war, some Greek refugees settled in among others, the part of Poland where I live.

I played this campaign a few weeks ago, and enjoyed it. No obvious mistakes.


cheers

Don't forget the Greek Fire campaign by Von and Lars for BAT. It will need Vampire's updated Greek radio chat in order to correct the English speech.
