Well, after seeing also those new, amazing WW1 MOD:s appearing in DBW 1916 I couldn't help myself. I have made a campaign for the Albatros D.III (surely one of the most beutiful aircraft ever made). It is called "Green-Tailed Devils":
This is a semi-historical, 14-mission static campaign, set during the summer of 1917, portraying the aerial fighting over the front in France in the early summer of 1917. The campaign contains a typical set of missions: patrols, escorts, interceptions, fighter sweeps and balloon busting. You are a young German pilot fresh out of flying school, sent as a replacement to one of the most famous fighter squadrons on the Western Front, Jasta 5. And you will be flying the great Albatros D.III, that comes courtesy of AMT & OAW!

http://speedy.sh/3Xb2Q/Westfront-1917.zipNote that the most missions in this campaign contains
a random element, which means that even if you replay the campaign you can never be sure to meet the same enemy at the same time etc as before. This means that some patrols will result in no enemy contact – just as in real life. (Most missions comes in three variants, the game picking one at random.)
Regarding Jasta 5: With approximately 253 victories at war's end, Jagdstaffel 5 had the third highest kill total of any squadron in the Luftstreitkräfte. Among the aces that flew in its ranks are Paul Bäumer, Hans Berr, Hermann Göring, Otto Könnecke, Fritz Rumey and Werner Voss. The units was sometimes referred to as “The Green-Tailed Devils”, due to the practice of painting the tailplanes of their aircraft green.
REQUIREMENTS: In order to play this campaign you will need
DBW 1916, version 2.1. Notice that it also contains EVERYTHING you need, except the skins enclosed – but these are optional anyway.
With this campaign comes
24 skins,
19 of them are Albatros D.III skins made by Archie (using a template by Max the Hitman & textures by Phas3e), 1 Friedrichshafen G3 skin by
Max the Hitman, 1 Roland D.II by
Archie and 4 SPAD VII- skins by
Murdoc. Thanks guys, not least Archie!
Note that every Albatros in this campaign will fly in an individual, historical skin!
As a small bonus I've also added new period music ("Die Wacht Am Rhein" - in a recording made before 1914!) for the German manu, plus a new background tga.
Thanks for looking!
