Gang:

Many hard drive crashes ago, I played DBW and I recall one VERY long campaign (who's title escapes me) but it was German fighter stationed in the West from 'The Phony War' thru the French Campaign, to the Battle of Britain, to the defensive efforts from 1941 to 1944, the Normandy campaign, the retreat back to Germany and the final months.
Can anybody suggest if there is a campaign like this or even similar available for downloading? I've done a cursory search but nothing quite comes up with ALL of those campaigns tied together.

Thanks in advance

NM the filthy disgusting ape.

Hi,

the "Campaigns" section is supposed to be for posting campaigns.
Your title makes people think you posted such a thing but this really belongs into the Lounge area, where there's open discussion.
So I am moving this.

Aside from that, I never heard of such a campaign. Not a static one anyway. I think I know quite a bit about campaigns but I've never come across something that fits this "only western front" description.

There are a few DGEN campaigns that would vaguely fit though, like the JG26 campaign.

You should check Poltavas campaign library, he has made a lot of campaigns and some of them might fit your description.

Using this old link blindly may be ill advise
Some old versions of these campaigns are not BAT compatible!  (and I suppose that is what he's looking for....)

Poltava posts all his BAT campaigns into BAT/Campaigns/World_at_War  subforum.

OK, and JG 26 was almost certainly the candidate for what I'm looking for.

I'm not sure what happened with the LW part, I've checked and looks like it wasnt implemented into EnjoyR's Dgen patch which is adds these extra, non stock campaigns:

What you can try is to download the files from the first link and add them to your dgen folder, but do not overwrite anything. There's a small chance that it works. Do not forget to backup your current dgen folder first!

Thanks;

I'm going to have to do a little bit of reading. Trying to use DGEN back when I had 'vanilla' IL2 1946 proved a wee bit troublesome. Now that I'm at BAT 3.7.2, it's probably going to need even more attention to detail.
