5./JG27 Vs Chuffy's Flying Circus! It was the best campaign we have ever been in! CFC were a good fight and good Sports! The old hands in the unit remember it as our hayday or honey moon period.

The first campaign was 17 missions long. We played some twice so it was more like 22 missions... From the Italian beginning in 1940 to German advance, British counter offensive, German counter counter offensive... All the way to the withdrawel in 1943. It was epic. The aircraft comming and going and being out classed and replaced.

Nord Afrika was awesome! - Except the flies and salt water.

Some time later CFC wrote a 4 or 6 missioner and that was fun also. So actually we have played two campaigns.

5./JG27 & 9./ZG26 have found memories of Nord Afrika.
Actually this is where our sister squadron 9./ZG26 was born!


You can read all about it in our newspapers chronicling it here:

Very cool, thanks for sharing

Remember the time the devs said they were going to release the SDK. It was the bottom of a long list , so I guess in 10 years time that will eventually come out and then you can make an African Campaign.

Boston, Maryland and Baltimore for the allies as well.

Plus the dreaded Breda 65 for the axis....

Ummmm North Africa

[trumps]

early on in North Africa there were Gladiators, Hurricanes including with the 40mm bofors under the wings, Bostons, Vickers Wellesleys some H-75's, plus Martlets on RN carriers. plus the Vichie French with their D520's, Moranes, and some of those dodgy french bomber types i think which fought against the Allied forces.
a very interesting plane set, more crap planes than you can poke a stick at
