Yeah, adding new layers is pretty easy; once you have created a new .mis file you simply add an entry to the campaign.cfgin the campaign folder like this:

[Section 88]
FileName=data/Campaigns/Campaign/SolomonIslands.mis
StartDate=19430101
EndDate=19430801
GameModes=SinglePatrol,Career
InclusionProbability=100
MinimumDifficultyRating=0
MinimumPlayerRating=-3
EntryFocalPointLong=0
EntryFocalPointLat=0
MaximumDistanceFromStartPoint=90000
ExclusiveLayer=No
ExclusiveLayerID=0

Virtually all the variables are the same for every entry, except the name and the dates. Personally, I would like to know what

MaximumDistanceFromStartPoint=90000

Actually does.

Another tip for campaign editing is to do everything to new .mis files and merge with existing layers when you need too. I know it's only a tiny little tip but it has helped me out a number of times.
