DOM's
"Attack in the West"
This brilliant addon for EAW models the German invasion of The Netherlands, Belgium, and Holland in May 1940. Powered by a whole new campaign and single mission mission engine devised and programmed by DOM, players can fly either as the invading Germans, or the defending French, Dutch, Belgians, or British. The aircraft and squadrons are as historically accurate as possible, as are the dynamic campaign frontlines. At DOM's invitation I modelled the town, the beaches, and the evacuation fleet for inclusion, and these features appear in camapigns at the time of the Dunkerque evacuation. My compliments to DOM whose work brought this addon in to being, to Emil whose work on a similar campaign was included, to all of those who worked on the aircraft 3dz models and skins, and finally to Captain Kurt who pulled it all together for release.

AITW Original Manual Install Version Main Files
Setup Information (0.9 MB)
Get this first and read all the setup information. You must follow DOM's instructions carefully. In particular
(1) you must make your new EAW installation folder "AITW40" exactly in the path specified,
(2) within that you must create a "savedata" subfolder
W40 Folder (4.1 MB) Common Folder (4.2 MB) Aircraft Folders 1 (3.25 MB) Aircraft Folders 2 (3.5 MB) Medals (1.5 MB)
These files are the heart of the addon. The original archives are contained within these download zip files. The files must go in their proper places in the new folders required by the addon - So
(1) extract the setup archives from the download zips
(2) unzip the setup archives to the locations instructed making sure to use the stored folders option
If you get error messages and other problems setting the exact path as specified, use DOM's Pathfix programme here.

DOM's AITW utilities
AITWManager (340 Kb)
By using this new utility you can directly launch :
- the campaign mode manager (formerly W40.exe)
- the single mission mode manager (formerly SMissW40.exe)
- the NEW Career manager utility which now enables you to manage up to seven campaigns
- the no-enemy-aircraft campaign missions generator
- the Aircraft SubFolders editor (set up as many as 255 alternative skins for each aircraft)
- the AITW40 path set-up fix
CareerLinker (90 Kb)
This DOS utility is designed to copy your exact score (scores, missions, rank, points and medals) from a campaign you've completed to another one you are starting. As well, the details of the missions listed in the logbook of your previous campaign(s) can be copied to the new campaign logbook to a maximum of 80 missions. The 'Attack in the West 1940' addon uses career files in a specific format. This Career Linker utility is 'AITW40' compatible, i.e. it can import data from a classic EAW career file (Poland campaign for example) to an AITW career file and vice versa. It will now be possible for example to take the same pilot through the attack on Poland, the Battle of France, the Battle of Britain, and on into the later war campaigns.
