I was/am only doing the translation for the Soviet campaign (manually). You should offer it to Folgore, it seems he is aiming to translate the whole package, as far as auto translators allow.

That`s easy, if you have the BK StartTools: just select the option "Enable the autoexec.cfg debugging" and you can chose which chapter to start the game. Once you have started the chaptar (and saved it), you must deselect this option or it will mess with all chapters orders.

Dunno if there's any interest, but I am currently working on a map about the battle of Manila, 1944. 22x22

I can give you a little help, or at least make you contemplate a lot more work. I have landed at Manila airport many times. That blank green area outside the city (top of the map)? It's jam packed with little farms with small rice paddies and other fields, connected by small dirt roads. It has been that was for centuries.
Other than that, it looks like a well-designed map.

@louis: thanks, that does help. I've been using this source to help guide me, but it largely only covers the combat and force descriptions, not too much regarding locale unfortunately. www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-P-Triumph/USA-P-Triumph-16.htmlI'm not planning to make a very accurate scale replica of the city, probably in large part because I don't have all the needed buildings/objects available (even with GZM), nor the time. But I do hope to make an interesting map about the largest urban battle of the Pacific theater. IMO its high point will rather be in units and scenario, but anything that helps me get a little closer to the real city/surroundings without necessitating new objects/buildings I'd definitely try going for. I may use a Google image search, but if you have any images of such rice paddies, they would help. BTW unless the airport IS either the Nichols or Nelson field (which are already on the map), it wasn't there in '44. I also have to replicate somehow the Prison, the Santo Tomas University, and the port. Of course, I haven't a clue what they looked like in '44. BTW, here is the main map I'm using for this mission. As you can see, not overly detailed as far as the city goes:

Remember, the Philippines are mostly volcanic mountains. The main reason for the existence of Manila - other than the fantastic harbour - is that it is some of the best agricultural land in the islands. It is very flat around Manila. The surrounding area is nothing but farms side-by-side.
For the look of their fields, I find that Old Grass or Light Ground surrounded by hedge fence or continuous bushes works best. There are very few trees, and most of them are palm trees along the borders of the fields.
Last year I took some pictures from the airplane as we were taking off from Surigao in the southern Philippines. I reproduce the best two here in hopes that it will give you an idea of the scenery. Unfortunately they don't look the same as around Manila.
