Scenarios?

So, is there a dynamic campaign for this?

Linked scenarios to play out the whole campaign?

Or, do you just have to go through the scenario selections, and play them one at a time?

Still debating whether to purchase the title.

Tell me what I'm missing if I don't.[:D]

The Battle of the Bulge has been done to death in wargaming. I am surprised it was chosen in the first place.

There were many battles that together made up the “Battle of the Bulge”. Many of these battles are represented in the game and many of them you have probably never heard of before.

As a wargamer,you should find each battle is interesting.

No they are not joined in a strategic map to make “The Battle of the Bulge”. Did I mention it has been done to death?

I would hope the next game in the series is set in the Western Desert or the Eastern Front and the battles are joined in a strategic map.

Bummer...

All the work put into this game and no linked campaign.[:(]

Maybe in a later patch then.
If they do, I'll buy the game.

I graduated from mini scenario games years ago.[;)][:D]

There's nothing mini about the scenarios. The game is about operational level command. I can't say I've ever missed the lack of link between one scenario and the next (although of course the scenarios are linked, being part of the same campaign, just not directly).

I'm far happier that Panther decided to hone the operational level game than worry about bolting on a fairly unnecessary campaign mode (although I can see the draw). It does what it does very well.
