Wow everything looks brilliant so far. I really like the crews on the AT and Artillery units.
Splendid job we are all looking forward to more.

First preview of the small port and city tiles (for Tripolis, Bengazi, Tobruk, Alexandria, Cairo and Tunis):



Also Africa Corps comes with 3 different bridge typs to cross wadis.

[Dumnorix]

A view of the first bigger city - Bengazi. Next I work out all tiles for Tobruk, than Bardia - note the road system is the old - I do finish my own new roads in the next hours.

[Dumnorix]

I finished over 20 new units - Africa Corps will come with over 50 new high definition 3D models - All units comes new to you - not ones of the original PC units I can hold for Africa Corps.

British main truck - Bedford / British Early Main Recon Marmon-Herrington



Do you like all the transport trucks with crew ?

I hope they give you a free game or something nice for all the work you are doing with this mod.

[SeaMonkey]

The transports are just like everything else we've seen so far....awesome! Now...if you could just get Malta, Crete, and the Eastern Med. into this mod, with all the logistical flavor of the theater, naval air components, then this would be the definitive North African game.

DAK PzKfw IIF / DAK PzKfw IIIG



DAK leFH 18 105mm (in March/April only the I.Btl of the 75th Artillery Rgt - 5th light Division - DAK:........DAK MG-Infantry (2nd and 8th MG-Btl of the 200th motorized infantry regiment - 5th light division - DAK):
(from May 1941 also the I. + II. Btl of the 33rd Artillery Regiment - 15th tank division - DAK)

In Africa Corps you can fire with a real 105mm leFH18 !

Crete is ready and you can see it in the next weeks at my Slitherine account.
Malta comes with Africa Corps , but in the 2nd pack on the end of September - now I will finish the DAK Campaign battles for 1941. Also I plan in an 4th packet to show you the battles of Tunis and all the fictiv battles fom Alexandria and Cairo to the Levante. And naturally all comes with new terrain tiles !!!

release shifted to 24th September 2011 !

[dsawan]

Wow ! those infantry look hot. Love the tanks too.

[dsawan]

Curious, how do you plan on integrating the Nord afrika scenarios with the current campaigns? Is there a tree where we can see what a defeat or victory leads to? Say from the Russian front, etc. Or is this just a standalone campaign?

I really should not answer for the creator of this excellent mod, but I'll wager that it is a stand alone campaign....

[Dumnorix]

Or is this just a standalone campaign?

Its a stand alone Campaign - DAK - you will need an extra installed Panzer Corps together with my packet.

I can only chime in with the rest... it's awesome.
Sorry to bring this up, but is the right wing of the Stuka correct? It seems to miss the angle in the wing? And the wheels of the Me seem a bit off as well, as if it was landing/taking off? Or maybe I'm wrong and in that case I apologize. Well we wouldn't notice it on the smaller scale anyway.

Hurricane I of the No.3 Sq - Desert Air Force:

No - its only an optical viewing error - in this rendering you can see that the right wing is also like the left wing.
