Full campaign without Bomber Command?

Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich is a improved and enhanced edition of Talonsoft's older Battle of Britain and Bombing the Reich. This updated version represents the best simulation of the air war over Britain and the strategic bombing campaign over Europe that has ever been made.

Full campaign without Bomber Command?

Post by CaptCarnage »

Some of the scenarios are without night bombing, USAAF only.
Is it possible to mod the game a bit to get a full campaign with 600+ turns without the bomber command part?

I am a Mighty 8th fan, not a Bomber Command guy really...
But I want to play the full war without worrying about the Brits...

Hit the Auto plan raid button and set it to plan all raids for BC.

But then I still have to wait for all BC missions to have flown etc.
Is there no way to completely remove them from a long campaign, mod them out?

You can mod the victory points to take into account the reduction in Terror points and just don't fly night bombing raids but you will probably fall short with the 31-day sudden death requirements and lose the campaign. So short answer is no.

We can look into a toggle to resolve the Night Campaign automatically one of two ways:

1. Player plans the night missions normally, but the graphic resolution is skipped.
* or *
2. No raid planning is required and area bombing results are resolved each turn by random AI algorythms and graphic resolution is skipped.

What would players prefer?

For me, I would like just the option of playing USAAF. I just like to hit industries more than population centers :)

So I would be happy with AI taking over BC and no graphic resolution.

I would like to see the same thing for the Luftwaffe side too.

Yes I think one of the big faults of the game is the imposibility of editing campaings. I would like to play Italian canpaing only for example or playing just with bomber command etc
