is it possible to play the first title campaign with the new engine ?

Sadly no. I tried copying over a mission during the EAP and it threw an error when loading. Something about the scripting commands are slightly different.
As I recall from the EAP all the content(ie models) from BA are in BA2 so theres nothing to prevent you from changing the commands in the script to make it run.

No there are a lot of changes between the two games. Bringing the assets over via a mod (units, etc) is possible but the missions are so different they can't be ported.

So potentially we could see West Front mods for BA2 in the near future? Or is there a plan to release the West Front units for 'quick battles' or somesuch?

Thanks.

Yes it would be relatively easy for people to port the West front units to BA2. They have a different visual style so don't match the current units but technically would work.
