Theatre List:
Blitzkrieg, the Battle of
Britain and the Blitz: September 1939 to May 1941.
Early war action with the attacks on France. Not many high powered aircraft
in use.
Cross Channel Operations:
October 1941 to June 1943.
"Tip and Run" raids across the Channel are quite common from both sides.
Aircraft are getting bigger and more capable.
Bombing by Day: May 1942 to June
1944.
This is the time of the 8th Air Force and its daylight missions to Germany.
The German defences develop some unusual weapons to cope with the heavily
armed B 17s.
Bombers Moon: October 1941 to
June 1944.
Night Bombing raids by the RAF (but also by the Luftwaffe) are covered here,
as are Night Fighters in defence.
D-Day Back into France and on
to the Reich: June 1944 to May 1945.
These missions allow you to take the fight on into Germany, but also allow
for V1 interception and the use of early jet aircraft if you wish.
The Middle East, the Balkans and
Crete: June 1940 to July 1943.
The beginnings of the war in the Mediterranean appear here, as do some of
the side line theatres such as Greece, Iraq and Syria. Here you can try your
hand with some obsolete aircraft on both sides.
The Mediterranean: June 1940 to
October 1941.
The main battles in this theatre revolve around the defence of Malta and the
convoys, as well as North African battles.
The End in Africa Crusader,
Alemein and Torch: November 1941 to November 1942.
These battles are the beginning of the end for the Axis. Better planes are
available for the Allies, though the Luftwaffe can still pack a punch.
Italian Adventure: July 1943 to
May 1945.
Campaign up Italy and after a time you also get the unusual situation of
being able to fight Italians versus Italians and Germans after the fall of
Rome.
Barbarossa: June to
December 1941.
The first strike against Russia will find the Russian Air Force severely
hampered due to the better German aircraft.
Ostfront the Road to
Stalingrad: January 1942 to February 1943.
The tide is starting to turn here. Russian aircraft are improving, though
the Luftwaffe will still be holding its own.
The East is Red Kursk to
Berlin: June 1943 to May 1945.
The tide has now turned and the Russians can field aircraft as good as the
Germans.
The Rising Sun: December 1941 to
April 1942.
The Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbour and Singapore show how outclassed the
allied airforces were.
Carrier Clash: May 1942 to
February 1943.
The Battles of Coral Sea, Midway and the attack into the Indian Ocean are
covered here, with the beginnings of better carrier aircraft for the Allies.
MacArthur Returns: October
1943 to March 1945.
The Allied war machine is now turning out better fighters such as the
Hellcat, which will be a difficult opponent for most Japanese aircraft. The
Japanese hold some surprises themselves though.
The Road to Mandalay Burma and
Malaya: 1941 to 1945.
This theatre covers the Forgotten War pitting Commonwealth forces against
the Japanese.
Kamikaze the Setting of the
Sun: January to August 1945.
The end is in sight here. The Japanese can field some quite good aircraft,
though they are going to be no match for many US aircraft.
South America and the Chaco
Boreal: 1932 to 1935.
There were several South American Wars of the Mid-1930s in which old
biplanes take each other on.
The Spanish Civil War: July 1936
to March 1939.
This was the testing ground for many of the aircraft used at the start of
WW2.
The Sino-Japanese War 1937 to
1945 and the Nomonhan Incident: May to September 1939.
As the Spanish Civil War, many early Japanese aircraft were introduced here.
You will also find the American Volunteer Force in action here.
War in the Snows The Winter
War: September 1939 to March 1940 and The Continuation War: June 1941 to
1944.
Finland versus Russia, with the Finns using a wide selection of western
aircraft, plus some of their own.
The Battle of the Atlantic: 1940
to 1945.
This section covers Naval patrol aircraft and the defence against the
U-Boat.
Flights of Fancy Experimental
Aircraft: 1939 to 1945.
The aircraft in this section were either almost introduced at the end of the
war, or had their development curtailed. Many items of interest for unusual
games with early jets.
