East Front: Forgotten Battles adds the following new capabilities into your Matrix Campaign Series East Front game:

Bulgarians (Axis and Allied), Finns (Axis upgrade + Allied), France (Allied, from WF), Germany (as Allied, a copy of EF Axis Germany), Poles (Allied upgrade), UK (Allied, from WF), and US (Allied, from WF).

No existing JTCS EF stock unit is touched. None of the existing East Front stock or custom scenarios are affected.

Even better, if you are in the middle of playing half a dozen East Front scenarios, you can still prodeed to install this Mod immediately.

That's right: None of your on-going games will be affected either.

"What if I don’t like it?" Removing the Mod is literally just one click of a mouse!

Just get in, it is easy as a cake! ™

Here's a bunch of independent mods for further enhancing your EF install. They are installed in a similar manner as the EF:FB mod. They can be applied to EF (WF, RS) independently, without EF:FB in place.

If installing EF:FB for the first time, please proceed now to Installation (post #2), then come back to install these.

... Right, then. Now, please proceed to download any of the other mods you are interested of, unzip, then drop the included folders into \John Tiller Campaign Series\MODS folder.

As the other mods are dropped there, they become visible in the JSGME tool:

Known anomalies

Not a bug as such, but please note the Allied German alternative bitmaps with Desert or Winter camo etc are not automatically enabled. This is due to JTCS code that allows this functionality for vanilla Germany only (country code 01).
