New Campaign - Operation Trek

TREKKER
An extensible Single Player Campaign for DFX2

BACKGROUND

Quote:

In South Africa around the 1800s, the length of an overland journey was not in miles but in treks.

Trek comes from Afrikaans, one of the dialects spoken by the early Dutch settlers.

The "Boers" eventually left the remote Colony and from 1835 to 1843, more than 10,000 Voortrekkers travelled the Groot Trek ("Great Trek")

Later in the 1900s, trek began to be used in other varieties of English with the meaning "a journey or leg of a journey, especially when slow or difficult."

The premise for the missions: A great trek throughout the entire enemy distribution on an imaginary continent.

The first thing needed before anything else can go ahead is the campaign script has to be right.

I'd like to have 6 missions for first publication and I think there's probably a limit of 16... (I hope).

The second thing is that I haven't got any instructions for DFX2 campaigns so I'll just have to try adapting the syntax from a BHD campaign script to start with.
