Good evening,
Here is another labor of love for all of you to enjoy...Operation Marita. This was the last truly successful offensive campaign for the Germans before Barbarossa eventually turned the tide of the war. This package has fifty-three missions, evenly split between bombers and fighters. (They are two separate campaigns) Each campaign is slightly dynamic, so you end up flying about twenty-five missions each. Both campaigns begin on April 6th, 1941 and end on May 28th, 1941. (The evacuation missions following that until the end of the campaign on June 1st, 1941 will be part of the Dodecanese campaign)
Most of these missions are focused on land targets, although there are moments in each campaign where you focus on destroying the British Navy. These missions are often a reflection of the Royal Air Force missions I released about two weeks ago, but many other cover events not used in the RAF campaign.
There has also been great care, similar to the RAF campaign, to emphasize historical accuracy, although some missions are amalgams of days where there were several patrols or small missions, and/or the same target was attacked on consecutive days or within a short period of time.
Most missions are my original design, but handful of missions have also been incorporated from the "Hellas" campaign when possible. However, this was the exception rather than the rule. For the most part, this campaign runs true to the historical facts, even using real pilot names when the data is available. The same holds true for the mission descriptions and synopses, for those who are interested in the history.
There will be more naval missions in the Dodecanese campaign, which is also nearing completion.
Stuart277 - I am still in the process of evaluating your ships, but if the testing goes well, I may do a "patch" for the five missions where I could incorporate more of your ships in this campaign. They will be more prevalent in the Dodecanese and British Crete campaigns.
Many thanks to Shadow Wolf 07 and Talon, both for Shadow's beta testing and Talon's "encouragement" to focus on more original historical campaigns, though he has all the subtlety of a mafia hit.
Both he and Talon also suggested covering missions from multiple sides, so I thank them for that as well!
And another round of thanks to Achim, for building the bases to help all this happen!
More to come, folks!
