Torch disappointment.

So I decided to buy the Torch expansion in the hope that at least one of the advertised 10 scenarios would be a campaign game that starts with Torch.

Boy was I disappointed.
Who thought it would be a good idea to finally add to the game what it should have had from the beginning and NOT add a campaign scenario that actually starts when the historical campaign started?

Apparently, the only way I'm gonna get a campaign game that starts with Torch is to create one myself.

Given so many poor design decisions between this game and WitE2 it appears that the 2by3 guys peaked with WitP and are running on fumes.

Hans,

Same thing I posted in your other copy of the same post. I am not disappointed at all.

Once you release your Torch Campaign scenario please post it so others can have a crack at it.

Yeah, there was a thread a few years back that expressed the same disappointment.

I always disappointed that the Allied navies don't exist in the game outside a few task forces devoted to mounting amphibious operations. But, if you include Allied navies, it seems you have to include U-boats, and it gets too out of the scope of what they wanted to concentrate on.
