Greybear -> Campaign problems, bug or feature? (6/30/2000 3:24:00 AM)

I am a campaign player, usually "minor' powers. Using campaign generator, if you save a game during the first battle. at the end of that battle (Italy, 1940, Mountains vs Grk, Br, ANZ)after rebuild, game goes to a French choose theater page with no buttons. Have to crtl alt del to get out. if you play thru the first battle, you get a modify campaign screen with choices. Then you get to continue to the secound choice of support troops. First: bug Second: Bug or Feature? Glenn

In campaigns is the campaign specific info saved after the first battle? I ask because in three tries so far campaigns seem to be broken in 2.1-2.2 First try was a large core force, where I saved the first battle at deployment, made some changes to the map and enemy force with the editor, then after 28 turns of pounding weak italian troops, the battle ended, I saved at the next screen and the game went back to the main screen... Attempting to load just does the same thing... no enemy selection screen (generated campaign) no rebuild and no next battle. The next two tries where quick attempts to reproduce this problem (small maps and tiny forces), and it confirmed my findings... I think editing (and perhaps also saving in the game as greybear seems to suggest) the first battle of a campaign keeps the campaign data from being written. I have been running a campaign for drake, (two huge battles edited up for him so far) so I know editing a battle doesn't automatically produce this problem... At least not so far. Simon
