CC47 @ 100%

[kreuzfeld]

I thought I would give this British North Africa campaign a try, but I ran into seemingly-fatal problems that prevent me from finishing it.
After several failed attempts at the first few scenarios, I managed to reach Scenario 4 -- but the scenario offers me no opportunities for any unit placement. So I only have two Auxiliary destroyer units... and they certainly can't manage to capture the airfield that's one of the required Victory Hexes.

I'd be interested to hear if others ran into this problem, or if perhaps this is some sort of version issue.

Otherwise, here's my terminal AAR:

Briefing:

OPERATION IRONCLAD
May 5th, 1942

Commander, we have stormed ashore on the northern side of the Vichy French held island of Madgascar in order to prevent the Japanese from using the islands ports. With a submarine base in Madagascar the Japanese navy would be able to threaten our supply route to the 8th Army, our merchant shipping and the Eastern Fleet.

Your first objective is the port of Diego Suarez. The Vichy defenders are expected to be a mix of French colonial troops along with local volunteers. You will have naval support provided by several battleships, cruisers and destroyers, and you will also receive air support from aircraft flying out from our aircraft carriers.

[NOTE: There is limited deployment in this scenario.]

In my AAR from last year it says that 6 own units can be deploye ...

Very strange --- and yet, I see no deployment hexes in the OpenGeneral map window.
Ah well, there are plenty of others to choose from. Thanks!

I'll see if I can find a savegame tonight. Then maybe the problem can be solved.
