The Battle of Britain II dynamic campaign is probably the most immersive and complete simulation of the Battle of Britain campaign ever attempted. From the damage to individual buildings on airfields, to the morale of every pilot, it tracks thousands of inputs to calculate victory or defeat. And it can be a little daunting to new Commanders.

To celebrate the completion of Update 2.10 we have released a collection of campaign game guides to help those keen to get into a Commander level BOBII campaign game but not sure where to start.

More help for new campaigners is always avaialble at the A2A forums or the BOBII forum on SimHQ.

Enjoy,

UR Welcome!

A small reminder: for those who don't like the work or responsibility of being a campaign commander there is always the Single Pilot campaign. For this you just pick your unit and fly the missions the game AI generates.

I didn't think that needed a tutorial but if people want one we can do it.

Cheers

Of course! should have thought of that. The RAF spc is straighforward but the luftwaffe spc takes some 'lateral' thinking.

By request!

The Single Pilot Campaign (SPC) is very popular with flyers who want to get the feeling of flying in the Battle of Britain campaign without all the management that is required to play the campaign as Commander.

In the SPC you just hop into the cockpit and fly the missions the game assigns you.

But the Luftwaffe campaign has a couple of quirks which can catch the untutored player unawares, so this video explains both how to start either an RAF or Luftwaffe SPC, plus how to manage the little quirks in the Luftwaffe game.
(Featuring the music of Marlene Dietrich)...

Enjoy

Awesome, thank you, HeinKill!
(Downloading from youtube now).

Dirk.

PS: and I really love the wonderful assortment of 30-40's songs you added to all your movies, great value on its own.
