INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Update the PG2 game to version 1.02 (available at www.HerrGeneral.de, SERVICE section, updates)

2. After the game update, I recommend to install now the graphics update. The owner of the best
PG2 site on the web, Lasse Jensen, has written a fantastic tool for that purpose.
You'll find it at the TOOLS section of the HERR GENERAL website (www.HerrGeneral.de)
Download the tool "Graphic Updater" and install it. It contains more and better unit icons and flags.
It's compatible with the important custom equipment files, as well as with the original.

3.After unzipping the downloaded campaign arcive, you get 2 folders:

SCENARIO
EQP

The content of the SCENARIO folder have to be copied into the appropriate folder of your PG2 installation path
(e.g.c:\PG2\SCENARIO). 
The content of the EQP folder have to be copied in the main directory of your PG2 installation path
(e.g. c:\PG2). It contains Andreas Seidel's WAFFENKAMMER equipment file. 
At www.waffenkammer.com there might be updates available soon.

This new campaign requires the installation of several new maps (NOT included in this *.zip archive) :

1. (Sidi) Barrani
2. Penang
3. Bardia

The maps can be downloaded from Lasse Jensen PG2 BUILDERS PARADISE website (http://w1.1661.telia.com/~u166103891/).  
You can also download the maps from Dirk Cremer's HERR GENERAL (www.HerrGeneral.de) site. 
If you choose the HERR GENERAL site, go to the TOOLS section and choose PANZER GENERAL 2.

NOTE: Without this new maps, the campaign will NOT work !
  

Historical notes:
February 1937, Italy intervenes actively in the Spanish civil war. You get entrusted the command
over an Italian volunteers division in the rank of a Colonel. The campaign lead you to Finland,
North Africa, on the Balkans and Russia. The campaign is arranged in the rough after historical events.
Naturally puts the devil in the detail. Cards, involved units etc. are to a large extent not authentic,
because of lack of material (cards) or historical background knowledge.

I have test the campaign with the following unit-mix (end of the campaign):

 4 x tank
 2 x ATG
 2 x recon
 2 x AA
 6 x artillery
 4 x infantry
 4 x fighter
 2 x bomber
 --------------
 26 units
  
I have balanced the weakness of the Italian armored force and ATGs with a strong artillery.
Afterwards the AA-units proved as not necessary.
