campaign/scenario newbie question

Panzer Corp. Wehrmacht game.
I want to edit scenarios that can be played within the campaign mode. I make all the changes that I want, (I like big battles with lots of units, and a stronger Poland/France opponent with tanks) and save the changes to the scenario, i start the game campaign, and the changes were not available. How disappointing! i go back to the editor and view the scenario, and the changes were saved. I started scenario mode, and the changes were there!
For some reason, the campaign mode is not recognizing individual scenario changes.

Can someone tell me how to use the scenario changes in campaign mode?
or maybe I am missing something,

Thank You,
a newbie

In the "Mods" thread (sticky - fourth one down) are a number of hints and tips. One is the campaign system. Basically, what you need to do is create a campaign.pzdat file in a folder structure under My docs\My Games\Panzer Corps\Mods\[Campaign name folder]. Look at the existing campaign.pzdat in the main Panzer Corps\Data folder to see what they are like. If you only have one scenario for the campaign you will also need some units already placed. Know the scenario file name and set up a sequence of scenarios to play sequentially - looking at the existing campaign.pzdat should show you how to do so. I use Notepad++ to open that file (actually, normally Excel but that is a bit more involved).

Anyway, have a look at campaign.pzdat at see how you go.

Of course, if you only have one scenario is goes in the My docs\My Games\Panzer Corps\scenario folder.
