Is the "Africa at War" mod also compatible with different base games or only with Pacific?

Yes.
I have got it to work with Eagles Strike as the base game.

I suspect that any Mod that has been built on a WW2 original game will work in any other WW2 base game and any Mod based on a post WW2 original game will work on any other post ww2 base game. Thats been my experience in the experiments i have conducted so far.

I don't know to what extent WW1 or SCW can be used as a donor games, I have never tried them.

The only way to find out if a combination will work is to try it. The worst that can happen is that it wont work.

Generic instructions for installing a whole game MOD (such as RSOE, Africa at war, Arab Israeili war etc) Are as follows:



In these instructions the term 'Donor game' refers to whatever base game you have decided to use to install your Mod into

• Make a folder and name it with the name of your chosen MOD
  
• copy the entire contents of the donor game into that dir
  
• delete all the .OOb, .SCN , .Map .cpd .pdt from your new MOD directory
  
• unzip the mod into your new MOD directory and accept all the overwrite warnings
  

Then just boot the game up and see if it works.

You can use JGME if you like, but my preference is to have a standalone game installed permanently rather than mess about with JGME, and there is no real advantage to using JGME that I can see if its a game you will be playing regularly.
