Unfortunately, there is no provision for this in EAW. Once a campaign is completed, it's over, period.There is an "imperfect" way to get around this, sort of. You might already know that Charles Gunst's "EAW Pilot" editor is available by itself and is also included in ECA Control Panel as the "Squadron Editor" function. "EAW Pilot" is actually derived from a DOS-based editor developed by Nick Bell. Nick Bell's editor gives far more options for career categories/parameters than does EAW Pilot (however, we don't really know what all of the other parameters do, so it may well have been pointless to include them in the Windows EAW Pilot editor; and at any rate, EAW Pilot allows modifications to the most important categories). If you would like to get the DOS-based editor, I can mail it to you. Just let me know here, or send a message to be at bmac444@post.com. With the Nick Bell editor, you could copy all the statistics for your BoB pilot and then start a career in 1943. You would have to complete the first mission, causing EAW to save a "career*.sve" file in the "savedata" folder). From there you could then use the Bell editor to manually change all the numbers for your new pilot, including his name, setting them all to the statistics for your BoB pilot. This is not perfect for several reasons. One of which is that I don't believe you can get the statistics for your last mission in a campaign included in the career*.sve file). In addition, you will have to fly your first mission in the '43 campaign with a different set of criteria, then there would be no way to add the statistics of your first '43 mission to your old BoB pilot's figures (well, you could add victories, not to mention missions, but it would be difficult to do this with the less well-known categories).
