I play a scenario from a compaign until I get a DV so I can play the next with my core units rather than squander them. I know the next will be hard even with them and without them it's a forlorn hope. But this means I've missed an opportunity to play another scenario. Is there a way I can play these skipped scenarios with my experienced core units? Maybe make a scenario from data contained in the save file? Bear in mind I'm one of these content to play other peoples scenarios and have no expertise in scenario design or the intracasies of how files are treated in SP. I hope got my question across.

Possibly, but not normally, depending on how well you advance, if you don't perform well you may get kicked back to an earlier battle, but this design only ususally happens in MegaCampaigns because they are written in that manor. Most normal Campaigns usually continually progress unless you fail miserably then your campaign can end abruptly.

Thanks. I'm well aquainted with getting tossed out of a campaign cuz of poor performance. I just feel I'm missing out of someone's hard work and feel... I don't know, maybe not doing my part to appreciate the author's work.

Yes.

If we are talking about user made camapigns, that is...

Use the edit campaign function. Look at your chosen campaign and see if there are any battles you have not played.

Change the numbers that determine how the campaign flows (the nodes). Use caution, however, if you are not familiar with how it works - it won't take long to learn if you don't.

(Take some of the existing (stand alone) scenarios and make a 5-battle 'phoney' campaign' or something and you will quickly figure out how it works.)

If this is done after you have played through your campaign 'the old fashioned way', it might mean your core force warpes back in time, i.e. you might fight a battle in Normandy with Pershings etc.
