It is difficult, so I may rebalance this scenario by removing an exit or two or add one more British raiding unit.

I just played the first 4 turns of the scenario from the editor without losing.

I don't understand this two! I have played it a few days ago, and it worked correct (always draw). Than I implemented the new files that you have delivered and *BäM* (Baem), since than is always after one (!!!) or two rounds finito (game over). Than I removed the new files and replaced it with the older, but the problem stays.

I have done this, I have placed my units under the exit symbols, and it worked, no truck escaped. But the result was a draw and my boss was very upset! In one try I killed all trucks (I think so, because no one came anymore), but left the reconnaisance car alive and *baem* , "draw" and my boss was angry again ...

One of my units is a relative useless universal carrier, the only thing he could attack, is the supply tent, but then he is missing at the the exit points.
Edit: Attached new slightly easier Border scenario
super
Edit2: Hm, looks like I can no longer attach zipped files. Tried both methods.
Anyway, the campaign file has been updated (same version).

That's not what he meant, Erik, it's the prim. objective not triggering "complete" even if no truck escaped the map (see here)
Correct!

I'll take a look at that, too, if you don't mind (the downloadable extra file "14Albert" you posted a few days ago)

1. Are your scenarios following each other, regardless of outcome, or are there any branches inbetween (like in Panzer General)? (Does OoB allow branching?)
I don't know what you mean, but the outcome decides about the fothgoing of the campaign!
In most cases a defeat will end it!
2. I'm not very good at these games (although I still enjoy them) and when I played the Lodz scenario a few days ago, I basically lost all of my troops in the end. Before, I managed to fulfill some objectives, though. I was still wondering why I did get a draw instead of a loss, because I don't think I fulfilled the main objective.
And this game is easy to learn, but hard to play Especially the energy of a unit is very critical! you should always try to let them make a pause (if possible)!

It depends on fulfilling primary/secondary objectives.

I have also moved the bulk of the Allied supply to Antwerp.

Link updated to v2.9
