I Mentioned these before as well with 1 German Campaign and 2 Russian. Germans get the early Barbarossa (Minsk, Smolensk, Kiev, Typhoon) then the Russian Campaign from Stalingrad to Kursk, then Bagration to Berlin (Leningrad break out could be added here) but hopefully this is my wish for these Campaigns
Each campaign should have more than 10 missions (12 or 13 for Max historical fun) OR
4 campaigns instead of 3 (maybe the first expansion could be an Axis invasion of Poland 1939 :D)

Actually Poland won't work. Too much cost for the extra sound files needed for the units. Same to add in the Minor Axis allies too.

I agree that it would be nice to have a campaign in the game that is Russian perspective. However, which one? Maybe some of the situations where the Russians had to dig the Germans out of prepared positions. Or a Kursk situation where the Germans bring in lots of tanks against AT/Inf teams. Not sure really.

The MP missions are where I hope that the game has balance for sure.

I'd agree, it has to be either both of those or one of them, depending how many Russian campaigns there are. Stalingrad to Kursk would include two of the defining battles on the Eastern Front. Bagration to Berlin you'd have the dissolution of Army Group Centre to the desperate fighting inside the Reich itself.

Though I'll say it would be fun to play on the German side for an entirety of the war campaign. To get a feel just how overwhelmed those forces were, especially from 44-45.

I think I'd like to see four campaigns, perhaps shorter ones. The first would cover 1941 from the German side, including Barbarossa and the Winter Counteroffensives. Next, a 1942 campaign, from the Russian side. This would include everything from the end of the winter campaign to Operation Little Saturn and the fall of Stalingrad. Then, another Russian campaign, this time going through 1943 and up to Bagration. Finally, a Bagration through Berlin campaign from the German side. However, to be honest,mid enjoy playing pretty much every year from both sides. Add on campaigns could include each of the above campaigns played from the other side. In addition I'd enjoy seeing a Winter War add-on, as well as maybe a 1946 "What If" Zhukov goes West thing.

While I agree with you, only partly, I need to be the one taking Berlin, not defending :roll: it's Sealion all over again (I wanted German View :evil:)

Well a German victory at Stalingrad or Moscow would be pretty cool

The Winter war would be cool if they decide to do a pre-Barbarossa campaign .Interesting Finnish ski troops
