Campaign?

[Derg]

How do I do it? The Campaign?
I only ever played A Bridge Too Far, and it's Campaign is much simpler then this. Can someone explain what everything is and how it's different from the older games?

Also on that note helping with editor as well. Can I just make single load and play battles without all the tactical maps and such?

Any help would be great.

Absolution - there is a full manual for the game in the \Manuals folder, and you can access it from the game menu as well.

The strategic layer in Gateway to Caen is substantially different than the old CC2 campaign layer, yes. You give orders to your battle groups on the strategic map and this determines what maps you will be fighting on, and what forces are fighting there. You can right click on your battle group icons to give them orders on the strategic map.

You can also play single battles without bothering with the strategic map. Select 'Battles' on the left side of the Command Screen, then set your options and click 'Play.'

You can make your own battles in the scenario editor by just dropping two battle groups onto the map you want to fight on, setting your scenario options, and saving the battle.

Yeah the manual won't open for whatever reason.
Thanks for the general rundown though.

You can try to open the manual manually. The PDF file is inside the "Manuals" subfolder in the main game installtaion folder.


You can also read it on online:
