Coming soon to a theater, er computer near you...!
Hurricane Season carries you through 20 missions as a Hurricane pilot flying with the 601st out of RAF Tangmere in the months of July and August - 1/2 of the Battle of Britain. I have 20 more missions planned to take you through the second half of BOB as you get promoted and moved to another base, as RAF Control re-arranges manpower to accomodate for pilot shortages. You will be assigned to fly Spitfires there, in a new patrol region of the map.
But I digress, lets get back to Hurricane Season. A large operational area with surprise locations, weather, detailed storyline & briefings, BOB skins, and four operational bases in your area, any of which can be used to complete your mission, (Tangmere, Warmwell, Exeter & Ford). Skins reflect the markings of your neighboring squadrons and will be seen regularly. Enemy markings will reflect actual squadrons operational for BOB and in your operational area. Most events reflect actual BOB timeline and mission occurrences for that day. The missions are survivable but fun, I recommend full-real. There are 2 rules:
• Rule One - survive and get home
• Rule Two - see Rule One
I will ask for a few beta testers before release, but I have a couple more missions to complete. Keep in mind, this is definitely not for weaker machines. Comments are welcome.

Thanks for the input guys, I was hoping a BOB campaign would still be well recieved.
9th_simplex, I'm not sure why you're not seeing the pics, as they are coming up... maybe because they're larger pics?
The map used to create this is the KUBAN map and all the actual bases in the KUBAN map are reprsented in the printable maps. When compared to a real Britain map, many locations are similar. So with a little imagination, we're there!
As far as the skins, it was hard to find relative art to work by, so I did the best I could with what I found. There might be a little artistic license thrown in for color too. The codes are all squadron correct and you will fly with markings off because the IL2 does not have many of the British BOB squadrons actually listed for choosing... so there won't be A,B,C, etc on the planes. The German planes have them on most though, because I found them more populated in IL2.
I may also include a cheat sheet for Squadron IDs for fun.
