<t>Thanks for the reply! If you have time, could you help me troubleshoot the core force? I'm thinking about the campaign in terms of a sweeps week mini-series here! What kinds of equipment weirdness could I add to give the force some sort of backstory? Or whatever.<br/>

O.K., I think I'll ...

<t>Hey guys! <br/>
<br/>
Awesome campaign! I played the first four battles and then experimented a couple of times with the first 10 or so turns of the first battle in order to tweak the core force. There's no way a unit like this could've exsisted at the front during these early battles, right? Too ...

<t>Both of these scenarios are so much fun! I think there's a certain cinematic quality to them. Lots of little dramatic things can occur. In "Eye of the Storm" I had Opel trucks returning to the front after safely dropping off the bulk of the retreating force in the forest exit hexes. These guys ...

<r>Oops, I forgot to mention... can you also explain the best way to save the files. I'm really confused by the way MegaCampaign saves files.
