Ah, ..., in that case I can tell you that the Dutch translation there is
both wrong and too long (so less space is required). _("Campaign or
Skirmish Game") would translate to "Veldtocht of Schermutseling spel".
Although the "spel" ("game" in English) part at the end sounds a bit
crappy to me. Just plain "Veldtocht of Schermutseling" ("Campaign or
Skirmish") sounds better to me, at least in Dutch.

If it is just 'Single Player', then I think the old timers might get
confused, since before, skirmish was in the MP menu?
"Campaign or Skirmish Game" sounds about right.
The only other question I have is for the translations, and if there is
enough room?
"01234567890123456789012345678901234567" <--- max # of chars.
"Kampagne oder Zankt Sich Spiel"
"La campagne ou A un accrochage le Jeu"
"Voert campagne of Schermutseling Spel"
"Кампания или Игра Перестрелки"
"Fare una campagna o il Gioco di Scaramuccia"
Would there be something longer than these? (assuming the translator is
correct)
