Thanks for fixing it Helmut. I can't believe I missed that error because I even double-checked it. The complete set of individual map downloads is now available at RD as Helmut mentioned.

Thanks for the mention of consolodating the posts Helmut. Every little bit helps.

I must admit I am a complete virgin when it comes to modding a game. But I have quite a good knowledge of the North African campaign from start to finish, so if anybody does want to create a submod as Oddball says, please give me a call if you need some historical data or anything like that.

Again thanks for those years of effort Oddball. (So much better than the El Alamein mod.)

Great job!! I downloaded and played it a little last night. I look forward to diving into it more deeply. Thanks for all the hard work.

[RD_Oddball]

Thanks guys.

Searry I forgot to reply to your last comment. Uh the only thing I can think of is to load the GC in the scenario editor and change the dates by removing the first weeks until you get late enough in the GC for your liking.

Sorry I don't have a better suggestion but I'm not aware of one.

Hey, thx for the Mod! Great Work! :ok2 :prostration

[sample]

[ronson]

Yes your are right sample.
Owing to the shortage of equipment after Dunkirk and the battle of France, the Bofors 37mm AT guns were taken over from the Sudanese army (never knew they had one!) during 1940 and used in the desert until 1941 to suppliment the 2pdrs.
These would have been used by the AT Regts. RA attached to the divisions,
certainly present in 3RHA which had 4 batteries, although I'm unsure what the mix of 37mm and 2pdrs was, and possibly other Regts. too.
They were phased out in 1941 due to wear and also as UK and Dominion divisions in Egypt had priority for new equipment.

Congratulations a very nice mod

Cheers

Great Mod RD Oddball!!! Kudos & congrats

[RD_Oddball]

Thanks FT

@Ronson - I have also found what you're saying to be true. Both the bofors and 37mm AT gun were in use in Afrika.

I HAD a big long post about the topic written up to describe the research I found to support what we're saying but the post aborted after I hit "submit" and I lost it. I was too pissed to reproduce it. I guess that's why the "copy to clipboard" button was made available eh? Must happen often.

So you'll have to take this one on faith guys.

On ya mate.

Hey, Jim...

great mod! Great looking custom interface screens (desert flavored), great maps, the soldiers uniforms presentation and tanks looks awesome! I've only tried the single battles...but the gameplay is smooth and fun.

One minor thing...why didn't you (and the mod team) give the Indian Teams/BGs a separate Nationality code? In Afrika40-41 Indian Units are coded with the same Nationality code as British units...so they show up in the game with British names...kinda strange.
I've been working a lot with Indian Units and data these past few months (BoS1945)...and I'm used to seeing Indian Teams with Indian names in the game. I believe that the Indian Teams/BGs in CC5: El Alamein were coded as Indian Nationality and the teams show up in the game with Indian names.

The vehicles/tanks looks great...I hope the Afrika40-41 team don't mind if we use some of them (with some custom editing) for BoS1945. I'll PM you about this, Jim.

Thanks again for all the hard work on Afrika40-41...4 years is a long time!

Hi all ... This mod look like GJS is. a complete and strong mod... Congrat to the team ...

Between iv got a question... Maybe u already replyed to it but well...

Yesterday i tryed to make my own GC or Op and cant save it ... error message ... is it normal?

[dj]

Jim

Thanks a million for this mod. The strat map looks awesome. It looks like this is geared for H2H play but seems to be okay for single player also?

I've started the GC as the Italians (single player) thinking the Allies would have the advantage. So far the Italians are dominating, but don't have enough AT guns to last long further into the campaign...so it would even out later into GC.

The best way to play the full timeframe of the mod is by playing the 4 seperate operations?

Hi squadleader_id,

what is BoS1945?

[squadleader_id]

[ronson]

Managed to find this shot of the aformentioned 37mm Bofors ATG, hope it is of use to you, and gives some idea of the size of this weapon.

Couldn't find any pics of it in action



BTW This is not to be confused with the 40mm Bofors, which was an AA gun and in use with the Light AA regts. around the same time.

Hello and congratulations for this impresive mod! Absolutelly great work, guys!

I only have one concern. The screenshot gallery show there's no mercy for the poor italians, who often bites the dust in the first 5 minutes of the battle. : The british are well equiped, have plenty of air/artilery/naval support, and generally defend easy-to-defend areas. So, if you know how to use your firepower and to distribute your men according to the terrain, playing as british seems too easy.

What do you think? (This is not a critic )

Anyway, great work, the best African mod by now, I can't wait to download it.
