The Campaigns can be controlled by the AI but it adds to the fun if the player/commander has a little bit of control over which PAKs need to be addressed and which ground troops need to move to control an objective. Also it is not guaranteed that the ground troops will make it to all objectives to win the campaign so player/commander intervention might be helpful. Remember it is a dynamic campaign so just because something happened when you played it a day ago, week, month, however long you want to look at it, doesn’t mean it is how it is going to be again.This campaign does not alter anything in the main BMS install. It adds another folder to the Data folder within your BMS install call Add-On Balkans and it takes everything from that. I made it that way on purpose so it didn’t overwrite anything on the main BMS install for those who want to keep their BMS install standard, but kept everything standard on the Balkans campaign.
HOW TO INSTALL
- After you download it to your desktop, extract the Balkans_Theater_4.35.3.zip to your desktop
- Run the Balkans_Theater_4.35.3.exe

Once you have finished the install process, open up Falcon and switch to the Balkans theater in your Theater list. After it switches to the Balkans theater, close Falcon and Re-Open it to give it a fresh start in the Balkans theater.
To Uninstall the Balkans Theater, go to your Falcon BMS 4.35/Data/Add-On Balkans folder and double click the uninstaller (see image below) located at the bottom of that link. You do not need to edit the theater.lst file. It will do that automatically.

- Point your path to your root BMS folder (example: C:\Falcon BMS 4.35)
