Don't know whether milestones might be put to good use but here's the method I used for a BN map a long, long time ago. Same method will apply to FB's milestones assuming there are flavour slots free.

 

Sometime this winter I will blow the dust off my limited modding skills and try to do your roadsigns.
Always as winter approaches I get into what I call a Bulge mood.
Please tell me which ones you need and if pointed to the left or to the right or entry into the town sign without an arrow...
 

Hi Kohlenklau
Currently the campaign is linear 🙁. I wanted it to be as historically accurate as I could.  I am thinking about doing a follow up YouTube on this element of the wider battle incorporating this campaign build AAR.
There's a lot of "what ifs" with KG Peiper as there were initially numerous tactical errors on both sides, primarily down to strict instructions to keep driving West and literally the fog of war, so a follow up version 2 would be fairly straight forward and quite interesting. 
As to availability it depends.
I could release a Part 1, covering the period up to the 19th at Targnon over the next few months. I have one more large map to complete covering Neufmoulin. I finished testing Trois Ponts last week. Trois Ponts was a challenging map, viaducts, railway and road bridges in close proximity at different heights, embankments, changes in river elevations between the Salm/Ambleve.
A lot of the subsequent engagements were fought over the same/similar ground as the first part of the campaign, so potentially much less work and a quicker turnaround.
Re modding, I've never attempted it, so that puts you at genius level compared to me, any help would be gratefully received.

If anyone of the brilliant modders has anytime to help me out, it would be much appreciated. 
I'm building a campaign Rollbahn D. I've six battles designed and tested atm. The plan is to take it thru at least to Targnon, maybe thru to the 24th.

One of my issues is around RoadSigns, would love to have accurate signs for roads / restaurants / hotels / Stavelot Cinema for added realism.
If anyone with the tech ability could spare the time?

What Ben said.
I'd also add you might want to consider rewarding the player for doing well in the previous actions otherwise conceptually if its all to win or lose on the last battle why bother with the previous ones...?
Anyways good convo re scoring in campaigns here 
 

Yorckscher Marsch, Der Hohenfriedburger, Preussischer Präsentier Marsch, Westerwald, Lore, Alte, Preussens Gloria along with the Panzerlied when playing FB or listening to Hapless or Mr Wales.

giving it a go, not exactly historical, but i think it will kinda give you the impression... lots more to do! 

11. New Modules more battlepacks for existing titles
New Countries for Barbarossa (Bulgaria Hungary Romania Yugoslavia Partisans). 
Additional modules for Red Thunder
Additional modules for CMSF2: Modern Day Syria, Turkey, Iraq 
CMBS Marines (from both sides)
Commonwealth forces and expansion into VE Day for Final Blitzkrieg

10. Enhanced Modding Support
add units
equipment
functionality
ingame OOB editor

7. "Fulda Gap": 1970-90
Europe WWIII

3. Afrika Korps: 1940-43 
WWII North Africa
Operation Torch, American North Africa Invasion Libya, Egypt, and Tunis 1942-43

Cheers Fella, work in progress.
I've learnt a lot around the tactical mistakes made on both sides and the mechanics around CM campaign design, enjoying it so far.
I thought I knew about the battle until I started to write info down, build the individual scenarios and organise into a campaign.
I'm going to upload the individual maps later in the year.

According to Duel In The Mist Volume 1 footnotes on Page 28, the Fallshirmjager that were with Peiper in Stoumont weren't from the 3rd Fallshirmjager Division that provided the KG support from Lanzerath to Honsfeld. 
From PoW records, those Fallshirmjager who were captured in the Stoumont area were "almost certainly" 12./FSJ Rgt z.b.V, from Skorzeny's Panzer Brigade 150.
So for my campaign I'm going to use 2x separate groups of Fallshirmjager. 

Very Happy! Works a treat and now the KG has its Sherman.

I bought the book off eBay for £450 a couple of years ago. A lot of money  but its not going to ever go back into reprint and I'd been tracking for along time. It covers the KG on a single day the 19th in great detail (36000 words). The photos and maps are large and clear. I don't regret the purchase and my family can sell on when I'm gone. I own vol2 and 3 which contains great source material too. The Devils Adjutant is my favourite read on the KG. Major Reynolds the author also features on a Youtube video driving around the La Gleize area with Jay Karamales 

Hi
I stumbled across these resources in researching map making for a campaign I'm building.
The detail of the Stavelot Town Plan is fantastic. If anyone has similar for towns and villages on Peiper's route including Malmedy for Skorzeny's attack and Trois Points I'd be grateful.

If anyone has access to the 16th/17th for the above, I would really appreciate it.
Found these useful from the late 1890's.

I'm also using old post cards and the occasional German recon from their 1940's advance in the same area.

Hi Chaps, I had fun making the scenario and genuinely appreciate your comments. I may make a V3 but at the moment I'm 4 of 11 scenarios built into a new Peiper campaign unofficially called "Rollbahn D" that I want to complete.
Re Erwin's comment about the engineers, I was unaware of the demo charge issue. For the Axis forces in Maas I'd imported the units from the game supplied Peiper Campaign. 
 
SPOILERS *****
Regarding the lack of ambushes in the woods... I was trying to represent the sometimes false information about strength of opposition the commanders had to contend with and also give the player a sense of anticipation and caution, without losing the fighting capability of the KG.
My ambition was for the player to reach Stoumont and Cheneux and then be hit with the task of clearing the towns, made more challenging by USA counter attacks. Over a map of that scale with that many forces arriving from multiple directions it was quite tricky to anticipate when a player would be hit by those counter attacks and the effect. 
 
Re the new campaign I've created my own Axis force, but will double check pioneer equipment, it may have been the result of an unfortunate unit selection. Some of the scenarios will be relatively easy and lack organised opposition as I'm trying to be historically accurate and incorporate the majority of landmarks/towns on the route.
I'm building the Bullingen map at the moment. I'm toying with the idea of if major victories have been achieved, giving the branch option for Peiper to thrust North/NW rather than continuing SW back onto Rollbahn D, thereby attempting to release the 12th SS Division.
