Internet explorer might be different as I use chrome.
I'm fine with the file being sent.
And delete everything previously downloaded as the LST files might overlap.
Thanks Morge

Can you actually capture the Tiger? In the couple I have played, I destroyed it...how do you capture it?

Sorry your right morge you can't capture the tiger unlike what I said, I just changed the squad file to make it easier to destroy.
ATM the tiger is a stationary unit which can be destroyed and has an objective above it. In future I'll change it so it can be captured.

Was curious...no worries! To bad after you capture it, you can't keep it in you r core forces for the next scenarios!

Are you going to port this over to BA2 once you get it finished?

It depends on the file sizes as the assets might have to be copied across but I really don't know if its possible? I could try when i'm finished.
Have most of the people moved over to BA2?

Alot have but there are still some that just have BA. I still have both installed but BA2 get the majority of my time. I think I only have 3-4 PBEM games going on at the moment in BA as opposed to 12-15 in BA2. :mrgreen:

Thanks for letting me know about B2.
2nd Torch map complete for testing.
Based on:
http://overlord-wot.blogspot.co.uk/2013 ... phant.html
The quote this is based on:
"The 30 odd Renault 35's of 1e Régiment de Chasseurs d'Afrique, surge out of St. Lucien. The four US tank destroyers open fire. It is curious to note that the M3 GMC is armed with a French made Mle 1897 75mm gun, a weapon with an unbelievably ferocious rate of fire. The four half-tracks pour fire into the oncoming mass of enemy armour. Their shells smashing the pre-war french tanks, whose armour is totally in effective. Then the Stuarts arrive, driving with two platoons forward, and the third in reserve 500m back. Each platoon is in a wedge. Under the cover of the Tank destroyers guns they drive towards the French tanks. In the short fire-fight that follows one Stuart is destroyed, however the Vichy forces are driven from the field, leaving 14 destroyed tanks burning in the desert sun. Then the Spitfires of the 31st attack, routing the enemy regiment."

There were a few battles but I just took the main one of wikipedia.
Currently the Battle of Sidi Bou Zid is WIP.
I can do another battle but i haven't got any decent books to read about it.

El Almaien would be a good one also, although it would be from the British side. :mrgreen:

Do you have BA2? Are you planning to do any mods there?

I might rap up Tunisia soon...
El Alamein would be cool and there is a lot more material to work from.
Or I could Operation Dragoon?
I've had BA2 since early access but not really used it.
I'll have a word with Richcat to see if we can port Tunisia over.

Yes, Operation Dragoon would also be a good one to create.

Just running a test, the campaign downloads fine in BA2 but get the following errors when you try and run it. I realize that alot of the unit files are not in the download but this may be a starting place for you and Richcat... After the second error, BA2 closes.
