Kuril Islands Campaign 2018 (packaged, Stand-Alone) is here, and here and here . Both, the Kuril Islands Campaign 2018 and the Taiwan Campaign 2014 have been packaged together into one set. {Note: this updated stand-alone version is NOT in the current Playset. It will be included in the next Playset release.} Be sure to read the installation instructions found inside the .zip file, labeled READ ME .txt .
This is a 35-mission fictional campaign that takes place from May 01, 2018 to May 18, 2018, and is a highly modified version of the original default Fighters Anthology Kuril Islands Campaign 1997. Unlike some other usnraptor campaigns that require the Playset to run, Kuril Islands Campaign 2018 is now a stand-alone campaign set. This means it is designed to run solely in a default Fighters Anthology installation that has been properly patched to version 1.02. {For gallery pictures, scroll down.}

Campaign development history :
1995, original default campaign created as part of the new EA U.S. Navy Fighters Marine Expansion Set.
April 14th, 2020, Kuril Islands Campaign 2018 was published, as part of USNRaptor Playset v 2.2. The campaign received a few minor updates over the next few years as the Playset was updated.
June, 2024, with the Playset breaching the Fighters Anthology 'total file limit', it was decided to convert all campaigns to stand-alone projects.
May 4th, 2025, Kuril Islands Campaign 2018 was chosen for its ease of conversion and simplicity of its missions, and for its similarities with Taiwan Campaign 2014. During the conversion process, it was determined many missions would greatly benefit from receiving minor upgrades.
July 4th, 2025, Kuril Islands Campaign 2018 is packaged with Taiwan Campaign 2014, and published as a stand-alone project.
