Any comments here on the expansion pack yet, good, bad or indifferent?

Looking for some purchasing guidance.

Do you like German AFVs in grau? Do you want to blow up Soumas and Char B1 bis?

It plays like BA so if you like BA and want to play early war battles with Germans, French and Brits, you gotta have it.

Something I didn't see in the description until now:
Players are now able to control the German forces and lead them to the conquest of Paris.

I didn't really want to play the French in the game. So for the price it looks like a no brainer.

Bring on the Russians next!

The nine battle campaign is from the German side, vs French alone in most, Brits in some and maybe combined Brit and French, I don't remember at the moment.

The new campaign is tougher to win than the original campaigns. I don't think it's my imagination.

I'm playing one of the new maps now in a pbem. I'm the Germans attacking allied positions. It is an interesting map. I'm expect to get beat. I never do well on the attack.

Patience blastpop. You don't expect them to blow this cash cow. You will get all the modules you could ever hope for. This game is going to surpass FOG IMHO, in terms of expansions.

They have me hooked. [;)]

There is a feeding frenzy at the wargamer. Everyone that has bought the game is raving about how good it is. You don't have to take my word for it anymore.
