Download the campaigns from the dropbox links provided there. Unzip them (7-zip is free). Copy the folders obtained into the campaigns folder in mygames/order of battle/campaigns or whereever yours is. Go to single player, should pop up in custom content. Enjoy.
Did this help?

Keep asking questions but it also helps to read the manual and to search these forums for topics. Many of your questions have already been answered elsewhere, but beware that there have been several major changes to this game in the past couple of years, coinciding with new DLC and patches. This is a list of these changes, in my opinion of course:

Order of Battle: the new Specialization System
http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 64&t=74089

Order of Battle: the new Import tool
http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... re#p625218

A look at the new features of Order of Battle: Kriegsmarine
http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 64&t=76808

These three threads announced significant changes to the game that override or add to what is in the manual. Hopefully the manual will be updated someday.

ok, I've unpackaged the zipped file and I have been given a folder containing a bunch of scenarios and they're corresponding files (I haven't looked in the folders), a few images, a map, a few mask files and a data file, of these which do I copy into the campaign folder and by copy, I mean just drop the copies into the folder or do I create they're own folder "IN" the campaign folder?

Just extract/drag the folder from the zipped file directly into the Campaigns folder as shown below. Simple as that. The game is designed, and the campaign modder followed the required protocol, so that when you go to "Custom Content" in the Campaigns tab of the game menu, the campaign will be available.
