Slowly, step by step, I am moving my campaigns over to BAT. Now another one with a topic from the Spanish Civil War:
This is a semi-historical, 10-mission static campaign, set in the Spanish Civil War during the two first months of 1937. You are a pilot in a Spanish squadron, flying the Heinkel He-51C fighter. (In one mission you will fly the E-30, which used by both sides in this conflict.) After the failure of the Nationalists to capture Madrid and the Republican counterattack at the Battle of the Corunna Road, the Nationalists are seeking to regain the initiative. A 40 kilometer wide strip of land in southern Spain along the Mediterranean Sea, centering on the city of Malaga, is held by the Republicans. This is to be the Nationalists new target...

It has a distinct Nationalist bias (written as it was during the Franco era), but contains a wealth of information. A much more balanced but old and much briefer account (it's an Osprey title) is "Spanish Civil War Air Forces" by noted air historian Christopher Shores. A recent, excellent addition (with much new material) to the literature of the war in the air is Rafael A Permuy López “Air War over Spain”.
Whistler has helped me finding a number of crucial bugs - thanks! Note that this is a, shall we say, 100%/75% coversion to BAT, i.e. it is fully functional in every way, uses new aircraft, units, ships, functions etc, but there is no taxi-to-takeoff. I will do that later. Right now I just want to make this campaign available to the BAT community! More will follow.
Thanks for looking
