Are the expansions more interesting than stock campaigns?

Post by robc04_1 »

I played all of the first campaign (Africa) and am almost done with the second (Normandy). Monotony is starting to set in and I was wondering if the add on campaigns are substantially different than the ones included with the game. Or, if a player is tiring of the stock ones will they probably not find the add ons any better?

Thanks

Probably best to see what other players have to say but there are certainly more scripting features added as time went on allowing more advanced things to happen in the missions and the designers got better at making use of the scripts. E.g. in Blitzkreig France you get things like captured French armour. In Market Garden you get unit carryover.

If someguy is happy to redesign them with new features, this will lead us to more fun. :wink:

It would have to say yes, but the one's included aren't bad. If you are getting a bit "ho-hum" about the Battle for Normandy try the Bulge Campaign for a change of pace :twisted:

Personally, having played all 3 expansions to completion, Blitzgrieg France is more difficult than expected but similar, but Market Garden is more fun as you have alot more infantry (sometimes ONLY infantry) to work with. Sealion is a brutal series of "hanging on" the time I've played through it. The overwhelming Axis forces make the Opening 2 for the Bulge seem easy!
