Campaigns are where it's at for single player. When you have to take care of your core units across an entire campaign it changes everything and makes single player a lot more interesting. I love playing well done campaigns and find I get totally immersed even though it's against the AI (scenario designer). Losses in core units are exponential across campaigns and it really does change the dynamic. When you are briefed that reinforcements are coming but then only 20 show up instead of a whole company because they were completely decimated two battles ago, it does change everything. You feel the loss of each soldier and every tank, and gun, and FO, and platoon leader, a LOT more deeply. I've been playing these games since the beginning and I love playing both PBEM and against the AI for all the reasons stated above. Currently, I have 4 PBEMS going against the same opponent (CMCW, CMRT, CMFI and CMFB) and still play my campaigns against the AI when I have time. A well written and crafted campaign put together by one of our many community designers can be just as fun and entertaining as playing humans, in my opinion, just in a different way. If you haven't played @George MC's campaigns (just 40 minutes to go on the first battle Five Days One Summer!) or even just his scenario's you really don't know how devious a good designer can be. Breakthrough to Kovel, by @Lille Fiskerby took me nine months (literally hundreds of hours) to complete but it was entirely epic and challenging and a really great experience. One of my favorite campaigns ever, honestly. Just my unsolicited two cents.

It sounds like you have run out of the space that this server provides (which isn't very much by the way). It's best to have an outside site host your images, like imgbb.com Post images there and then use the image address to post links instead. -

A possible teaser, maybe, of another graphic novel style AAR, this time of @George MC's "Five Days One Summer" from the new RT Battlepack? After 1pm, July 1944. Somewhere in central Poland... -
