If I have more spare time :wink:

Always limitation of 64 units per side? In this case I will be making a little campaign rather than a long scenario.
As the map is complete of course.This is a big job but this advance:

The 64 unit limit is a hard limit I'm afraid. I am looking at the possibility of being able to 'recycle' dead units (e.g. you would be able to use dead unit slots for new reinforcement units) - but this probably won't be in the upcoming update.

Cheers

Well resurrect unity sounds great :D
That said, I think rather a two or three scenario campaign. :?: Make also a MP version. :?:

Preview of map:

I saw that the editor I have access to sealion's objects that I do not own. Can I safely use? Can I use the no-owned extension's objects without the need to have this extension to play the scenario?

Well always late :oops:

I did the first tests with a single BIG scenario.
Problem: with a limit of 64 units / camp, I just do what the different lines of German defenses. And it lacks a few units to complete the whole. Few more units for locale counter-attacks...

So I plan to make two scenarios with carryover. And therefore more work, and thus further delay. :oops: :lol:

Well I think I was wrong for the part 2; I should probably add reinforcements :?:
In any case the two battles are rather long and play both demand a lot of time.

For the relocation, the most important thing is ok: Net works. :P
