1942 CAUCASUS CAMPAIGN      


ECA Panel 3.2 compatible addon for EUROPEAN AIR WAR - Microprose

The 1942 Caucasus Campaign replaces the Battle of Britain Campaign with one starting
in June of 1942, when the German summer offensive "Operation Blau" starts. The aim of
this campaign is to simulate the air and air to ground war on the Russian Front.

The Caucasus Campaign is a modified 1940 campaign, with different aircraft and 
upgrades. It starts in June 1942 and ends in January 1943, when the German 6th Army
surrenders at Stalingrad. In a normal campaign you fly a mission every 4 days, if you choose
a long campaign be prepared to fly a mission every 2 days for a total of 100 sorties.

As in reality all German and Russian aircraft will participate in a significant number of
air to ground bombing and interdiction attacks. Ofcourse also a significant number of sweep,
escort and intercept missions will be flown. 

This Russian Campaign is not 100% historically correct, but it is certainly more
historically correct to play than a Battle of Brittain or 1943-1944 campaign of the original
EAW with winter terrain and Russian aircraft skins applied.

When you play this campaign DO NOT select Limited Supply or you may not have bombs to carry.
I would like to quote Charles Gunst on this : "Did you join up to be a fighter pilot or 
a supply clerk anyway?" :)

Use ECA Control Panel v3.2 to select the Russian aircraft. Do this by using "Global 
Changes"/"Russian", or by individually selecting the various aircraft options as 
follows:

Hurricane:	MiG-3
Spitfire I:	LaGG-3
Spitfire IX:	Yak-9D
Typhoon:	La-5
Tempest:	Kittyhawk II
Mosquito:	Pe-2
P47D:		Il-2 (will be available in ECA panel 3.3, until then choose TBF Avenger)
B26:		Il-4
Bf109E:		Bf109F2
Bf109G:		Bf109G2
Bf110C:		Bf110F1
Ju87B:		Ju87D7
Ju88A:		Ju88A4
He111:		He111H2

The Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik isn't available in ECA panel 3.2, but it will be in
future versions. In the meantime choose the TBF Avenger to make sure it behaves as a bomber.
