Scenario 01. Giarabub.

Is Italy now at war with Great Britain or not? Reports are sketchy and an official announcement has not reached all outposts yet.

I remember your add-on scenarios before Afrika Korps. Asuser made 3 additional scenarios for this and I added several unit types and made some optimizing. The result is published here in forum with the name AK-Italia V1.0, Link:
AK-Italia V1.0

Do you plan something similar, but without using Afrika Korps?

The Italian prequel will be 12 scenarios , those are already done. Then the campaign continues with the arrival of the DAK. For an initial release i'll keep it more or less historical, later i might add what-if scenarios (as in the official Afrika Korps). More will be explained as i add more screenshots of my progress. If there are questions in particular, i might answer those earlier if i can.

Scenario 02. British Raid.

Based on the scenario of Allied Corps, where the British destroy an Italian convoy of trucks.
This time the roles are reversed. You must protect the convoy while escorting the convoy from point A to B. At the deployment phase prestige must be wisely spend on new ground units (tanks?) and on founding an air force.
And the two AB40's come for free.

Nezuet Ghirba. Your forces fell into a British ambush...but the weather is not that great. So, who might be ambushing who while your forces protect a very important officer?

Surprise!

After a long absence a mod from the map master. An extended Italy campaign quickly and (not) dirty. Refreshing after the somewhat complex and sometimes not that successful DLC of the successor PC2.
Yes, Peter already mentioned it, familiar material from bygone times in the beginning - but expanded very well. Loaded it and played a few missions right away.

A lot of fun! Thanks Nico!
