Ok, guys. For all of you interested in the Sino-Japanese war I have this pack for BAT/TGA:
After a series of small, local engagements fought during the thirties, in July 1937 Japan started a direct invasion. Initially the Japanese scored major victories, taking Shanghai after heavy fighting, and by the end of the year also captured the Chinese capital of Nanking - brutally killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the process. At the start of 1938, the Japanese government and GHQ had in effect lost control of the Japanese army in China. With so many victories achieved, the Japanese field generals escalated the war. Afraid of getting bogged down in a endless war of attrition they deployed most of their armies in China in order to attack the city of Wuhan, which by now was the new political, economic and military center of China, hoping to force the Chinese Kuomintang government to sue for a peace in all ways beneficial to Japan.
The result was the epic struggle for Wuhan. It lasted four and half months, was the longest, largest and perhaps the most significant battle of the entire Second Sino-Japanese War, and one of the largest land campaigns of the 20th century prior to WW2.
The seven campaigns supplied in this campaign pack tries to portray the fighting in the air during this crucial battle. You try on the role as a Chinese pilot, a Russian or a French volunteer, fighting for the ill-equipped Chinese air force, and you can fly either as a fighter jock, or man a bomber.
You can download it here: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1855This started out as a update of my existing campaign pack, made for DBW, but I soon saw that I essentially had built it again from scratch. The Japanese campaigns are now gone (and perhaps I will add some in a future update) but instead you have three bomber campaigns: for the Ilyushin DB-3, the Tupolev SB-2 M100 and - not least - the wonderful Martin B-10! Plus fighter campaigns for the Dewoitine D.510, Gladiator Mk I, Hawk III and Hawk 75M.
In essence this is two campaigns that comes in seven variations, but as the missions in this campaign pack make extensive use of Checkyersix’s GREAT Command & Control Mod with all it's randomizers, I trust that this will make the player forgive and even forget that. Because the the time of day, the weather, the skill and composition of the opposition will vary A LOT, even if you replay the same mission twice.
Some shiny screenies here:
Thanks for looking, and thanks to all the modders and skinners (not least Archie) for making these campaigns possible!
