Speaking of Mods

PAK mod has been able to work on my computer. In looking at it it seems like the same game just with a butt load more units to play with.

Is there some greater element to it, and is it worth playing the Afrika Korps version of the PAK mod, if so what difficulty?

Huge maps for Afrika? Or scenarios like BE?

I don't know about Africa, I have just seen the big maps of Europe and Russia on the PAK mod page here on the forum:

Also, one Hungarian guy is playing it on youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcH4azQlbRo

I wanted to play it but didn't have the time for it yet

Bummer...I couldn't find anything about changes to Afrika. I am really itching to play there since I am reading Mellenthin's book covering Gazala…

Any good Africa Mods out there?

I don't know, best to ask in detail on the PAK mod thread. I understand there is an Africa part, I haven't played it.

I don't have the details on it.

sweet I downloaded it, but am having trouble getting it to work. I wish I just understood mods so I could download them all, instead of waiting for my nephew to come around. So many mods so much fun.

By the by I checked out the PAK Mod a little more...it is the vanilla campaign that is the insanity BE style. I think that may be what I play next when I finally finish BE in a year or 2. ;)

Im start a Mod Rommel 40-44 (small scale, history accurate)
-1940 France: 2-3 Scenario then choice:
A: 1941 DAK (historical)
B: 1941 East Front (semi-historical)
viewtopic.php?f=147&t=101081
But I hope release it about 8.03.2021 :(

My recomendation: Mitcham S.W.. Rommel's Greatest Victory. — 1998.
Much more interesting than Mellenthin :)
