The Lions of Carpiquet

Operation Windsor, July 4th 1944.

The Canadian 8th Brigade is tasked with taking Carpiquet and the adjacent airfield. The 12SS Panzer Division stands in their way. Carpiquet is a fortress. Take command of a reinforced Canadian Infantry Brigade and crack the German defenses to the west of Caen.

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.

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
