Italy folder campaign

[Baddington_VA]

I seem to recall something about the Mediterranean theatre of operations being
off limits to TD, in the same way the Channel and Battle of Britain has been due
to Cliffs of Dover.

I believe that 1C had plans for a follow-on game to CloD which would have been based in North Africa. Those went by the wayside when CloD flopped.

As far as I know, there are no longer any restrictions on North African or MTO content. Likewise, I think that restrictions on Battle of Britain/France content have been lifted.

TD would know for sure, but given that they've included material which was previously embargoed (e.g., Wellington Bomber, SM-79) we can hope.

At this point there isn't much stopping Mediterranean operations except time and expertise. A lot of third party and TD effort has gone into adding some of the workhorse fighters, bombers and attack aircraft for Italy. Most of them flyable. A few still not (G.55 for example). We now even have Italian ground units.

So really. Just need some more maps. I'm trying to wrap my head around them but support is limited. A lot of people want stuff. Fewer will work to make it happen. I'm trying to make sure I can help make it happen... Maybe something Italy based even!

Isn't Gitano working on a number of MTO maps?

+1 about Italian folder.

Yes, because it is this The Italian Folder the real, basic need.

We've already many Italian campaigns available, static and dynamic, for old and new maps, but user is very often hampered not having the Italian folder.

I know Gaston did and is available at M4T, but many users aren't skilled enough to install it.

I tried including it in my campaigns, but it's easy missing some mandatory file (like the dreaded "Italy.dat"), so having user stuck.

TD already added with 4.10.1 Italian speechpack: why not add the rest required to run ANY third party campaign?

It's a matter of time, priorities, interest, and so forth. It's an oversight at best. Maybe we can have it finished off for the next patch.
