On the Main Menu, there are three options for resuming gameplay. The following sections detail how you resume one of your games.

Each saved game defaults to a file name containing the name of the scenario, the real-world date and time it was saved at, the percentage of the scenario completed, and the in-game time of that save point. This allows you to replay a scenario from any of these points in battle. File names can also be manually entered at the time of saving.
