Exclamation Re: Campaign save not loading

I followed the same path you mentioned-- I took the middle path.. got a draw on the first real battle ( we can force the game to give the results we want to test for in our development game) so I followed the same basic path you took as best I could and did not recreate the situation where the game offered me a human Vs Human game that resulted in a draw when played


There are 67 battle text files in this campaign and 67 battle DAT files meaning there are multiple branches for each battle and the progressions from one battle to the next are somewhat convoluted and "somewhat convoluted" and " fiendishly clever" are either/or phrases when describing this campaign that on average involve three branches for each battle depending on the victory you get or loss you take and in some cases a draw and decisive victory get you one battle but a MARGINAL get you another meaning the only way two players can get the same results from that campaign is to get the EXACT same battle outcomes with each battle they play assuming they both took the same branch on the start up battle but the whole point of setting a campaign up in this way is to ensure no two players get the exact path through it or also , on re-playing this campaign it is equally unlikely the same player will get the same results twice

There are 2 that mention "..multiple waves of Italian attacks from the W, NW, and N direction"

10 and 12

If you pick the middle path on the start up battle you get a decisive victory and move on to scenario in campaign slot #2..... if you get a draw in that one you go to the scenario in campaign slot 6

If you get a Marginal defeat or a draw in that battle you move to the scenario in slot 10 but if you get a victory in that battle you move onto 12 and both of those mention "multiple waves of Italian attacks "

So the bottom line is I have not been able to recreate what happened to you but "playing" that one that came up Human Vs Human will give you an automatic draw and " reset" it back to a Human vs AI campaign and right now the best answer I can give you is accept that and move on
