I am struggling because the Purple faction have totally rendered themselves ineffective as they become the Purple Pillbox Eaters. It ended in defeat. This seems totally impossible with the forces at hand. I have the base core with an added 25lber but with 26 points of deployable units, and the number of objective to achieve in 15 turns and an abysmal AI Allied faction, it seems unwinnable.

Ok, now I'm totally confused. Adding in a few extra turns I captured Sidi Berrani. Big deal. Just another objective. I still had to capture hill 90 to achieve the stated objectives. Next turn I captured the last Italian Supply Depot and I got a message that Sidi Berrani had surrendered and the scenario ended in Victory?? Huh???? I'd already captured it the turn before. It would appear that the objective of taking the Italian objective is rather Bogus and you just need to complete the other objective of capturing the supply depots and you get a victory.

Its Unit Skin, not Camouflage

And as for applying camo to individual units in the editor .. thats exactly how de Gaule came to be coloured white, and the various SCW units got unique patterns etc. But I'd suggest you PM Kerensky as he's the scenario editor wizzard.

Which are the 3 scenarios you needed extra turns for?

There is a "Player 3" as indicated in the upper right hand corner by the second British bulls-eye symbol, but there are no Player 3 forces on the map. Also, in the scenario objectives, it says hold three victory locations, which you start out by holding all three, but the counter in the scenario objectives starts at 2/3, instead of 3/3. Also, even though all victory hexes are held by British flags, one is controlled by a purple British hex (the one furthest to the right on the map). It also has a supply dump on it that you can attack.

I think this has been the general theme for me throughout this campaign, however. I am playing on the second level of difficulty, in an effort to play test through for bugs and all that. Even at this level, I have needed to double the amount of turns, at least in several scenarios, and in Supercharge the player is allotted only 15 turns, I needed 35 turns to win (through cheating). With the limited number of slots, I tend to focus on eliminating enemy units one by one, slowly, with combined arms tactics, so as to preserve my forces (artillery softens up, then infantry and armor attack, while using AT and AA to defend units) which makes it nearly impossible to beat many scenarios in the allotted time, due to the slow-going nature of the process. The allied factions tend to do suicidal attacks, and are pretty much useless as support for the player in the campaign (kind of like in the SCW DLC; there I only enjoyed the DLC with the mod created to control most of the allied Spanish Nationalist units). Even though I am having fun, and can figure out the scenarios with a few plays and extra turns (I haven't had to add more core slots yet... but I am getting there), I can see this being a bit of a frustrating campaign to play for others who maybe are less experienced. Perhaps I am just playing in a style that does not suit this campaign, but this is the first campaign, out of all the main campaigns, DLC's, and user-generated content that I have had this level of difficulty. I don't mean to be harsh, and I hope this critique is taken as constructive and useful. I really enjoy the thought and effort put into the work, and enjoy the final product, and realize this is a work of passion. But it is a very hard campaign.

*Edit - I added 10 turns and was able to beat Salerno, but on the last turn (17), the scenario freezes after my ally makes their moves.
