I am disappointed that the mod did not get the 3D models. I thought that the original team was planning for that.

Its true, the first plan was adding 3d models, but in the end it turned out to be too ambitious.

Yet i think the new counters are still a good compromise and i am looking forward to the next scenarios.

DMP did not announce a release date of the English version so far.

The Operation seems to be part of the Africa campaign:

You have to register and log in to download. However I think it is worth the time as the group has lots of content for various games. You can change the webpage controls to English and use google translator if needed for text.

The installation screen warns that a separate installation of the main program is recommended. Is that really necessary, does it change the main program or somehoe affect the original game?

This should cause no problems, i guess its mentioned to avoid any kind of trouble for the DMP which is fair enough. It only replaces graphics that are already there and adds 3 scenarios.
