If it is your own self-made campaign, it's rather unlikely.
If you are playing a campaign, you usually have to repeat the last mission you are currently one since more often than not the versions are incompatible.

That depends on the islands. The islands of CWR2 are in the addon directory of CWR2, probably something like @CWR2_demo4/Addons/cwr2_everon.pbo. You don't need to do anything, though, installing CWR2 is enough. It installs the islands along.
Quote:After my initial experiences with how complicated the file structures are with this game, I have since always downloaded into one place, then copy-pasted those materials to the proper place in the Arma hierarchy to make them useable.
Do I just move that @SAP\addons folder into my Arma2\ folder and voila?
You're thinking too complciated
If you download CWR2, you usually get it as a cwr2_something.rar or so. Unpacking that yields, among other things, an @CWR2 folder. Just copy that folder somewhere where the game can find it, which is either the game installation folder itself (e.g. C:\Bohemia Interactive\Arma II) or, use your My Documents\Arma 2 folder. I usually store them in My Documents, so I have
\My Documents\Arma 2\@CWR2
For the alternative method of using the game folder, it would be
C:\Bohemia Interactive\Arma II\@CWR2
In any case, you should add "-mod=@cwr2" to the shortcut, or use a launcher.
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
