PLAYING A CAMPAIGN GAME SCENARIO 

Playing a Campaign Game Scenario is a different taste of TotH. A Campaign Game Scenario is a much larger scenario with a lot of units on a large map. The battle lasts generally over several days and nights before the Campaign Game winner is called. To do this the Game Turns are divided into portions for Day (8 Game Turns) and Night (4 Game Turns).

As the Campaign Game Scenario last for a while there are some differences from a normal scenario. This is to depict the possibility for a side to do some refit of their units during the night. The differences are that at the start of a new Day:

- Broken and Broken+ units will Rally to normal status

- Broken Weapons will be repaired

- Broken Ordnance will be repaired

- Immobilized vehicles will be mobile again

- Off Board Artillery will be back to possible access again
