A reinforcement system was added:

From third turn you can call in reinforcements if the battle is too hard. You can request reinforcements every turn and up to three times.Reinforcements arrive the next turn.

This is a two scenarios campaign with carry over system.

Inspired but not realistic/historical scenario ;-)

Download: http://amaris-games.com/ba-amaris/scenarios/ortona/

Install: Unzip the Amaris_Ortona_V2.zip into the My Documents\My Games\BBCBA\Campaigns folder.


Side: Commonwealth (Canada)

Lenght: 25 turns for each parts.

Size: 32x64.

Missions: Capture VPs.

Background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ortona

Notes:
- With carryover's system it's very difficult to success the two part of the mission. This is a mission for grognard ;-)
- You must go slowly, use yours scouts to discover the ennemy ; urban fighting is deadly.


Force Selection:

For Ipad: I missed the new feature 'Share Unofficial User Scenarios on Any Platform'. :oops: :roll:
I'll check that and I hope to finish the link to .LST quickly.

@random27: always working on new stuff :wink:
In addition to a special project, I'm thinking about a new multiplayer mode (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate :P)
For solo I also planning to make another little campaigns. But I still hesitate on the theme: The invasion of Malta is a good what-if :P Or Italian campaigns like invasion of Greece :?: So probably an Axis campaign in the Mediterranean.

Sorry but I do only the solo part. The MP was created by GottaLove88s from my map (viewtopic.php?f=87&t=36587).

Thanks for the prompt, Amaris... I've made Ortona MP available for iPad as follows... All credit goes to Amaris for his incredible mapwork... Have fun gents! ;-)
Ok guys,

1. Run BA on your Mac, PC or iPad
2. Choose Campaigns (at the bottom)
3. Choose Download Community Scenarios (at the top)
4. Choose Download a Campaign Package from the Internet (top right)
5. Type http://bit.ly/BA88ortona into the URL box
6. Click the green tick
7. Back at the campaigns list, select "Ortona MP" and click Download the Selected Campaign (bottom centre)
8. This should download everything that you need
9. Go back to the first page of BA and choose Multiplayer
10. Log in to Multiplayer as normal
11. Either go to the My Challenges tab and create a New Challenge. This list will now show the Ortona MP...
12. Or go to the Accepts Challenges tab and look for an opponent...

After all that, you can play Ortona MP on any platform... Phew!!

Well found how to add carry over unit with a script: simply use the good function, AddCarryoverUnit() :oops:

Soon a new version, the last one?
So if you have any feedbacks it's now! :P
Thanks.

Hmm I have the exact opposite problem, I can't seem to download the single player campaign into my iPad but the multiplayer downloaded fine!
