Scenario/campaign question

Post by Staggerwing »

I'm eyeing this game for the near future (after I've finished chewing on Carriers at War)
but I would like to know if there are any Market/Garden scenarios or even perhaps a campaign.
Also, what are the 12 campaigns mentioned for West Front?

pretty sure there's an Irish Guards armoured Market Garden campaign, plus one or two stand alone MG scenarios.

cheers

There is also a scenario called "Hell's Highway" that covers the entire battle. It's huge!

You mean a user scenario, presumably? I can't see it in the game.

BTW, just tried the Market Garden Campaign and it seems bugged in some way, and won't run? Can anyone else confirm? If not will give more details later - need to go to work now!

Ah, that is an error of the campaign file being saved in the wrong directory. Make sure your files are being saved in the West Front folder.

Life was much simplier with my old PII 450Mhz 96mb RAM running Win98 on dialup.
