The Cemetery Hill/Culps Hill Scenario Series are in a compressed ZIP file called GBCH_Series_1-5.zip. Did you extract the files first before you put it in the mods folder?

Also, once it's extracted it should create a folder named "Gettysburg Cemetery Hill - Culps Hill Series:". That's the folder that goes in your Mods folder. However, make sure before you put it there that when you open THAT folder you see a Scenarios folder and and a file called intro.txt.

This is important - If you open the "Gettysburg Cemetery Hill - Culps Hill Series:" folder after you first extract it and you see another folder inside with the same name then THAT'S the folder which goes in your Mods folder. A little confusing to read but obvious when you look at it.

I can walk you through how to extract them if you're not sure. The procedure depends on what software you have installed.

Let me know,
