WW1 Cambrai Single Player campaign and Multi player battles

[tim1966]

now available for download.

The campaign consists of 6 single player battles based on the British attack at Cambrai in November 1917. A battle my Great Grandfather took part in as a member of the 62nd West Riding Division.
Download the files and unzipped them into My Documents/My Games/BBCBA/Campaigns for single player and My Documents/My Games/BBCBA/Multiplayer for the multiplayer battles.

Download the single player campaign here - Cambria Single player

Download the multi player battles here - Cambria Multi player

Here's a couple of screenshots.







Just a couple of points to note when playing - tanks can't cross trenches and are unreliable, mortars and HMGs can move, squads are now 8 men (except of half squads! )



Big thanks to Rich and Pete for testing, help and advice and the usual suspects here - Pip, Iain, J2D, Merr - hope I haven't missed anyone.

Let me know what you think and any improvements you can see particularly in the MP battles. Enjoy

Awesome Tim !!

Hey ... You might be able to develop a carryover camp ... Perhaps using Amaris' random map technique. If he's designing it the way I think he is, you can adjust the front line trenches for each subsequent scenario based on objectives captured in the previous scenario .

Well done!

Great!
I have been waiting for new maps for the WW1 mod.
Can´t wait to try them.

Bloody well done old chap!

Looks fantastic - seems like WW1 is a pretty popular setting, especially with these great scenarios.

Well done that man!

Cheers

Thanks Tim. It may be 1:30am, but I am going to at least check it out. Way to go.

The link doesn't seem to be working for the single player version (I've not tried the multiplayer one).

[tim1966]

I've just tried it now and it works.

[maximvs]

Got it now, thanks Tim

[Lynz]

Great addition to a very addictive game. Thanks Tim.

Started playing the "Das Ringen um Bourlon" multiplayer. There are no victory squares, no time limit and no stated victory conditions. Is this intended? Does this make it a fight to the death? Or is this just WW1?

[random27]

Thanks a lot i will try it immediatly.

HI NEWCOMER TO GAME JUST DISCOVERED THIS CAMPAIGN, WHAT A TREAT GREAT WORK . ONE HAS TO ASK WHY IT IS NOT IN THE DOWNLOAD FOLDER? HAVE YOU ANY MORE PLANNED

[pipfromslitherine]

Definitely - I must have missed this one. If Tim is happy to, I will add it immediately! We tend not to add campaigns to the download page without the author's OK, in case they want more playtesting before releasing it more widely.

Cheers

Pip

I'm very happy for it to be added to the download page. I think it just got lost after it first came out. I've been buried by real life so no plans for more campiagns but if anyone wants to use the teams etc to make scanerios/campaigns I'm more than happy

The multiplayer don't have victory points etc as I was unsure how to do them - so yes they are just a fight to the death I'm afraid.

Hi, i was wondering when the cambrai campaign will be added to the download section within the game?

Thanks

Was going to be yesterday, so hopefully today. Ran into some memory fun on the iPad which sucked me in.

Cheers
