Let me know how it plays out - I didn't really get much chance to balance the forces. I also didn't put in any AA cover for the Allies

Downloading now and thanking you in advance. Where do we send our money?

Beautiful, map, artwork, etc. You guys are so sweet to have done this for everyone. The balancing is the easy part. I am on turn 5 and just savoring the experience. Thanks again.

This mod looks great, but I have problems.

I have placed the folder in C:\My Games\BBCBA\CAMPAIGNS, but it does not show up in the game.
It is strange because the pacific campaign is in the same place and shows in the list of campaigns.
What could cause this?

Check that there isn't another folder level inside (e.g. that if you open the folder which is in the BBCBA folder, there is a CAMPAIGN.TXT file right there).

Cheers

Did you unzip it - its in a winrar compression and needs extracting first. If everything is right your file structure should look like this-

If it doesn't then you either havn't unzipped it or the folder is in the wrong level.

Mkae sure you have the single player version in the Campaigns folder and Multiplayer version under Multiplayer.

If you are still having problems let me know.

Maybe screenshot the contents of the folder.

The folder...

Shouldn't this be my documents\my games instead of c:\my games?

Post by **IainMcNeil** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 12:21 pm

Good point... it woudlnt find any of these files. You'll probably find you have a duplicate folder in My Docs which is actually being used. This will not get loaded.

The mod must be manually downloaded? Their are no way to download automatically like th campaign?

Post by **pipfromslitherine** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 9:07 pm

It's so very cool that we'll be popping it into the ingame download once it's been through some community and internal testing, so if you'd rather you can just wait a little bit and do it that way

.

Cheers

Take your time I am full of things to do so i can wait proper testing.
