Hey Jonesey,

You're welcome to use the GJS'44 scenarios... they're only available in multiplayer, but there are several players in and out of the tourney that would be only too delighted to play you... First map of four uploaded is Sword beach... Link to details and download instructions here... viewtopic.php?f=115&t=39693#p372797

How to download the GJS'44 maps into Battle Academy

1. Run BA on your Mac, PC or iPad
2. If you do not already have GJS'44 v1.21 Tournaments on your system, skip ahead to Step 8
3. Choose Multiplayer (at the bottom)
4. Log in to Multiplayer as usual
5. Choose the My Challenges tab (at the top) then press New Challenge
6. Select a GJS'44 Open Tourney scenario and then Delete Campaign (bottom right)
7. Press X until you get back to BA start screen
8. Choose Campaigns (at the bottom)
9. Choose Download Community Scenarios (at the top)
10. Choose Download a Campaign Package from the Internet (top right)
11. Type http://bit.ly/gjs44tourney into the URL box
12. Click the green tick
13. Back at the campaigns list, select "GJS44 v1.21 Tournament" and click Download the Selected Campaign (bottom centre)
14. This should download everything that you need
15. Press X until you get back to the BA start screen and choose Multiplayer
16. Log in to Multiplayer as usual
17. Either go to the My Challenges tab and click the New Challenge arrow. This list will now show the GJS'44 v1.21 Tournament Scenarios... GJS'44 Open Tourney: Sword
18. Or go to the Accept Challenges tab and click the scenario that you're supposed to be fighting (if your opponent has already setup your game)

After all that, you can play GJS'44 tourney maps on any platform... Phew!!
SWORD BEACH
Stretching for 5 miles from St Aubin sur Mer to Ouistreham, Sword beach lies 10 miles northwest of D-Day target city of Caen. Expect Rommel's asparagus, dragon's teeth, tank traps, MG nests, and fearsome 88s and Pak40s. Allies enjoy naval artillery, medic and rally. Germans can call down Fw190G-2 air cover, medic and rally.

Brits: Force selection mostly from 8th brigade, 3rd British infantry division, including 1st Bn Suffolk regiment, 2nd Bn East Yorks regiment, plus elements of 27th armoured Staffordshire Yeomanry and 41 Royal Marine commando
Germans: Force selection predominantly from 716th grenadier division (weaker coastal defence), supported by 352nd infantry division (regulars) and a vanguard of Feuchtinger's 21st panzerdivision

ALSO SEE...
* Enric's latest Fortified Line scenario is very good, creating Sherman rhinos and giving engineers extra powers that players asked for, link -> viewtopic.php?f=105&t=38727#p367688
* Merr's random Quick Battles are fun, fast and popular... Follow the same process above but use http://bit.ly/TaIq9Y instead of http://bit.ly/gjs44tourney at step 11
* Brummbar44's Battle of the Bulge campaign is awesome, where the overall campaign progresses partly based on individual players' battles in BA... link here -> viewtopic.php?f=87&t=39646&start=120#p373930
* For single player, rf900's Saving Private Bryan is a well thought through full campaign, and great fun, link -> viewtopic.php?f=105&t=35559#p333999
* Also for SP, Louism's Operation Mercury, German para invasion of Crete is challenging and gorgeous, link -> viewtopic.php?f=105&t=34322 (but this may be available directly from BA's campaign download, I think)

Good luck!
