All straightened out after a night's sleep. I managed to figure out how to download the maps the wrong way. [8|]
Now that I have downloaded them the right way everything is working fine. [8D]

I just finished the first scenario yesterday. It was one of the most nailbiting one's I've played. Superb campaign! Making my plan for the next scenario. Thanks for this masterpiece.

The map (png and fp9) files needs to go in the map folder (not the custom folder inside the maps) and the scenario and campaign files goes into the campaign folder.
I had originally put them in that custom folder you have mentioned. Got an error when I tried to load second scenario. Put png and fp9 files back into regular map folder and all works well. So please tell me again what is that custom maps folder for?

All new maps and the OTS original maps should go in the maps folder. Any custom replacement map needs to go in the custom folder and will load in place of the original.

Having fun so far. [8D]
Are the Alpha's supposed to show up at night, even if they aren't night capable?

That will depend on the amount of time taken to replace losses, the battle timeline is very close together for the first 4 battles. I find that it adds to the replay as each battle time varies.

The Alphas didn't turn up for me during a night scenario and it said it was because they weren't night capable.
Great Campaign though. Had a blast with this over the weekend.
Just starting the last scenario but it has the map as the same as in the 4th scenario, including my deployment areas. It's showing that VPs that I captured in the 4th scen are owned by me but it looks as if I now have to play the 4th scenario again and somehow advance and keep hold of them.
Is that correct?

No only the 1st & 3rd battle share the same map, I'm working away this week so I'll be able to check this later tonight.

The campaign plays out in the following order:
Speedbump - map TM1
Roadblock - map TM2
Quicklane - map TM1
sideroad - map TM3
Stopsign - map TM4
can you confirm the name of the scenario you last played and which one your currently on

Just finished four and I am at setup for five. All four maps are in the map directory. Number four is a smaller file size (4,841 KB), so maybe an error on the download.
Anyway, pending confirmation of that, this is what I see:
