Included in this download:
• The Campaign File – Copy this into the “Campaign” folder of your CMBN directory.
• A ‘z’ folder – Contains compulsory mods that are already mod tagged and ready to go. If you do not copy this folder to your existing mod folder the maps will look really silly!
• Operation Windsor – The Overlooked Battle – A scenario ‘history’ document outlining my final thoughts on the battle and the concessions I had to make in designing this campaign. SPOILER FILLED! The Scenario designer notes if you will. This is a separate document so the in game briefing field can be spoiler free.
• 4 x blank Master Maps
• Northern Map covering the village and northern approach.
• Southern Map covering the southern hangers, airfield and eastern control buildings.
• ‘Clean’ and ‘Damaged’ versions of each.
All CMBN modules including the vehicle pack is required.

Downloaded. Thanks Ithikial for all your time and effort.
Thanks mate, hope you enjoy.
I cannot seem to open this documnet, could it be re-posted as a regular zip file or can I get it sent to me directly as an uncompressed file?
Thanks much
Mmmm first I heard of that. Do you have 7Zip installed?
If you still can’t get it to work please PM me on the forums. (Ithikial_AU at BFC, Ithikial at the FGM)
I use a Mac so I am unsure of the zip version. The file looked odd when it downloaded and I sent it to a pc buddy and he could not open it either. Is there a way you could just send me the file unzipped?
Thanks
Ithikial, I just Started playing and I am keeping a very lightweight AAR along it. I am using Google Docs so if you want some feedback on the campaign, let me know I will drop you a link to it.
Hi, mac player as well. Can you add a zip file. Many thanks!!! Look forward to playing it.
hey mac players– use this for 7z files– works great and is free http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/13/open-7z-files-on-a-mac/
I have just split the file in two and added it as zip files… save you any hassle.
Cheers Bootie.
A lot of work done here that has to be appreciated. However, I found the bocage too impenetrable. Would love to see the maps reworked with more gaps in the bocage.
