Using vanila scenarios in mods

I would ask the developers / publisher if it is allowed to use several vanila scenarios (in some way modified) in mod-campaings? Of course in FREE mod-campaigns. :)

There was some protections placed in the editor in the past so you might have trouble doing this, but I believe these are being removed or have already been removed in the upcoming patch. No word on that release date BTW.

Otherwise, sure that's not a problem. We've already seen several user campaigns that borrow from official content.

Thank you it is good to hear that! :)

On first look I don't see problems with vanila scenarios in the editor.

But I had problem with an original single scenario (Bersaglieri and the Bear). I tried to simply add it in the campaign tree (of course with briefing) but when I step forward after the scn there came a black screen. Has to be something changed in the scenario settings to allow it playable in campaigns?

OK, I got it: I had only give it victory conditions for campaign game.
