How do the two campaigns compare, in terms of difficulty and fun?
For those that played both

I was going to import my elite core at first but they are ridiculously strong for the unexperienced enemy, so it's probably more sensible to use whatever units I get without importing. Again, on Rommel difficulty.
The first major difference that I see is that the missions don't seem to be the classic blitzkrieg ones, but rather there are specific mission objectives along with a few surprises from the enemy thrown in as well.
