Campaign Missions Screen

 

The campaign screen allows you to play the single player campaigns for each of the four races. Each campaign consists of five scenarios, which must be completed in sequence i.e. you cannot start the second Marine mission until you have successfully completed the first Marine mission.

SELECT DIFFICULTY

Select the difficulty level from Rookie (the easiest) to Elite (the hardest). Each difficulty level effectively represents a separate set of campaigns i.e. even if you complete the first Marine mission at Rookie level, you cannot start the second Marine mission at Veteran level until you have completed the first mission at Veteran level.

MISSION START BUTTONS AND MISSION STATUS

If the mission title is shown in green you can press the button by the side to start the mission. The status of each mission is shown by colour:

GREEN: You can play this mission

GREY: You cannot play this mission until you have completed the previous mission.

YELLOW: You are currently playing this mission, and can continue.

RED: The mission has been successfully completed. You can still choose to replay this mission if you want to, or you can review the game you have just played using the video controls.

SAVING AND RESUMING MISSIONS

There is no separate ‘save game’ command, but a mission is always saved after each turn is played so you can come back to it later. Missions that you have started will be shown in yellow text. If you click on the button by the side of a yellow mission title you will be given the option of resuming the mission or starting again.
