I have two items in my "Structures" inventory.
2 x Ernst Barkmann tokens.
1 x Lutzow tokens.
How do I implement them, and what do I get if I do purchase them?

I know for the most part these past few weeks and months have been relatively quiet. I want to assure you all that progress on 1940 Part 2 is ongoing. Most of the terrain for the missions has been completed it's initial stage, generally during testing phases it will be touched up as needed. I think for the most part, this stage should go relatively easy...why? Terrain doesn't affect how planes fly like it does ground troops moving.

I recently went through the mission's planned campaign tree and reorganized it a bit. There are still 31 planned scenarios, including a handful of training scenarios and an end of campaign mission. Right now, the planned diversion to Albania and assisting with the Italian invasion of Greece has been shelved. What has been planned instead, I believe will offer a different perspective and potentially more realistic or plausible scenario for the eventual invasion of the British Home Isles.

Speaking of how the campaign tree is planned right now. The first mission, Graf Zeppelin, is one of the largest training missions in term of physical size. It stretches from Danzig to Kiel. In this mission you will get several options that will affect decisions in gameplay. One of the first choices is getting some elite units, their naming dependent on the core you selected during the tutorial campaign. As the Luftwaffe your elite units will begin forming the Panzer-Division Herman Goering. As the Infantry, you begin forming the Grossdeutschland. With the Panzer core, you begin forming Panzer Lehr.

The Graf Zeppelin mission allows you to finish the Graf Zeppelin carrier, however you can either scrap the ship and receive some unique equipment or receive an extra elite unit.

Your next choice revolves around the Seydlitz. You are given the choice to convert her to an aircraft carrier or complete her as a heavy cruiser. If you finish her as a heavy cruiser, the ship is available right away.

Your third choice includes the Lutzow, if you decided to keep her from 1940 Part 1. The ship was not fully completed before it saw action in Norway. You have a chance to finish her construction as a cruiser, convert to an aircraft carrier, or the Soviets are still interested in obtaining her in exchange for equipment.

Your forth choice includes the DeGrasse, a hull captured during the Fall of France. You are given the choice to complete the hull as a light cruiser, an aircraft carrier, or scrap her and receive unique equipment.

That's it for now Generals.

Updates will be more frequent and in depth when testing begins in the late 2nd quarter of 2026.
