Way to skip campaign levels?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I know there are cheats for various things, but I want to know if there is a way to directly skip ahead in the campaign, the reason being that my save files are gone for reasons that I'm not going to bore you with, and I really don't feel like playing through all of the early missions again.

Start game with cheats on (shortcut with -cheat appended to the end). Ctrl + Shift + W the specified enemy or enemies planet(s) to complete the mission.

I think it's Ctrl + Shift + W, anyway. Might just be Ctrl + W-I always forget.

Hit end turn, and mission is complete.

IIRC, in DA there's one where you need to get a number of spies onto a world, and that's not strictly doable with cheats (AFAIK), but you can at least unfog the map and ensure your economy can crank out a couple of spies fairly quickly.

And then, so you aren't tempted, exit the game and reopen without. ;)

Other than that...no, don't think so.

Shift+W is win, and it automatically ends the game with a win regardless of the victory conditions of the scenario.  Shift+L is to automatically lose, if you want to go to an alternate track.

Oh, nice. That wasn't in any of the lists of cheats I have seen; I guess they are dated. Thanks.

Hm, guess that's easier than just resigning (a tactic I used in a rush to see the Dread Lords).
