Okay folks.
Having just finished my luftwaffe campaign against the Brits, I thought I'd start a new campaign as the Brits against the Luftwaffe.
Started the new game ... got to the 2D map and started looking about and .. the map is the one I finished the Luftwaffe campaign with. All of 11 group's bases are gone, all the damage to other targets are still there.
Not a new map for a new campaign.
Whutz up with that?

That is a problem for sure. First report of it I have heard, but there it is.
Until a proper solution is found and made, try something for us.
Try deleting all .bsl saves and the ones highlighted below:
I know you can safely delete the Package .DAT file, but dis -remember if tossing out the blank.DAT file is cool. I think so, but back both of them up in case I am wrong. Keep the input and Settings files.
This may restore you to a clean and virgin Campaign start.
Oh! One more thing.. sometimes I notice a new .DAT file gets generated in SAVEGAMES.
Damned if I can remember the name of it, now, but it's name seemingly has nothing to do with a Campaign.
When it shows up, (twice in two months) I toss it out, because it just don't smell right!
Before you delete anything, can you post a pic as I did, so that we can see what is in your current SAVEGAME folder?
Thanks for reporting this, BTW. Stuff like this tics people off.

I only tried it once ... and got flustered. Good thing it was monday night and the Patriots were playing!
Stickman, I'll take a look at my savegame folder and see what it looks like and post as I can. If it won't be tonight, it'll be wednesday for sure.
OTOH, starting a Brit campaign from this senario may prove interesting to try to fight back and get all of 11 group airfields back online.

Thanks. I do not see that oddball file that pops up in there occasionally.
Try deleting some of the files as I suggested.

Email coming in Stickman with bsl attached for your viewing pleasure.
I went ahead and ran with the campaign as it was given to me.
Croydon is an active field though damaged.
So far I've only had two Luftwaffe recon raids.
The dates and all other actions appear like a new campaign senario, just the map produces my old luftwaffe campaign where 11 group is completely destroyed.

Before I do as you suggest Stickman, is there a way via the British command of things to issue repair orders?
So far all the Luftwaffe have done is send recon missions and at this time Croydon is the only functional base of 11 Group.

Snuffy, I know nothing about the RAF Campaign. Never played one!
Someone needs to be the devil's advocate and concentrate on the LW side.
My gut feeling is that RAF repairs have no user interface.

Stickman, Just for giggles and grins, I went ahead and moved all the files to another directory on a different drive then went in to start a new RAF campaign.
Got a new map with all parts and pieces right where they need to be.

Hope this helps. As I said, deleting the saved game information will elimanate the problem.
Good Luck!
