The Italians had the Fiat CR32 and Fiat CR42 for fighters, Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 for bombers.

The Allied (RAF, SAAF, RAAF) aircraft were:
Fighters:
Gloster Gladiator
Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk or Kittyhawk
Hurricane Mk II

Bombers:
Douglas Boston
Bristol Bombay
Bristol Blenheim
Vickers Wellington
Vickers Valentia
 
Those numbers are servicable. There were others on hand, but those are th ones that were flying.

Grau, I also read that there were some M. 202s available?
 
Not from what I've read, NJ...the Folgore was delivered to North Africa in mid-1941, so it would have missed Battle Axe but did see alot of action on other fronts from late '41 onwards.

It was definately a premier fighter, too...sadly under-armed, but could hang in there with the best the Allies had to offer, performance-wise.
 
do we know what model of hurricanes were sent? thanks for all the help,once we have all the details in order i will post them .thanks Sparks

Sorry just read that it was the mark 11
 
Now that is a lot of brass air fittings mod edit: link removed there is just about every type
of air fitting that you could want. Wholesale prices too. I guess these could be used as small water pipe fitting also. I
used some of the parts to make my babington wvo burner.
 
Heres what we have come up with so far

GE plane setGE = Bf-109E-1, Bf-109E-4, Bf-110C-4, Ki-43 Oscar (sub for Macchi C.200 and Fiat G.50), Ju-87D, Ju-87G, He-111

GBHurricane IA, Hurricane IIB (SU version rather than 4 cannon IIC), Hurricane IID, Martlet I, Tomahawk IIB, Dauntless, Avenger, Li-2 (SU transport as a level bomber, no paratroops, sub for Wellington and Blenheim

Let me know what you think and you can all come and play they have a 2week free trial, thes will be at level 7 phisics no auto trim or hit reports

Think the 88 was faster and had a biger bomb load,right now this is shapeing up as a air battle vs tanks,very tough to even out both sides for 1941 may north africa any thoughts on subs? battle conditions are almost set sill haggling with Axis command over some detail will post as I get them
