The Tea Time 'Frontlines' announcement imply a third campaign design team.
1) The original team [Main Campaign, Pacific Corps]
2) Kerensky {AOxx}
3) Frontlines
So additional DLCs may come faster than expected.

I'm not surprised, when talking about Panzer Corps 2 Marco always seems quite happy with how well the game is selling and growing so it's no surprise they're throwing more content in(then again, it wouldn't be good for Slitherine to just come out and go, "Games dead lads and we aren't happy" lol).

Im looking forward to it. I would have preferred a long DLC series with imported cores and so on, but hey new PC2 campaign content coming, so nothing to complain about from my part

Good idea this new mini-campaign. maybe a modder will do a long US campaign like for PZC1 ?

On Twitch, the dev that Marco had on said that there are "long" campaigns/DLCs also in the works, so fear not. It just so happens that this one is ready first.

This is probably more accurate than you realize. Minus the warm beach, I enjoy my chilly and cloudy San Francisco weather.

1. British Campaign - Begins with small scale operations (maps) where you are losing but still doing the best you can like Norway, France/Belgium, etc. Perhaps even a Battle of Britain map! But things really get going in North Africa with the overrunning of Italian armies in Libya. It could include other areas mingled into it like interventions in Greece, Syria, Iraq, Italian East Africa, etc. I realize not all of these battles are possible if you follow a realistic timeline as some occurred simultaneously, but there is lots of potential there for something incredible and much deeper than what was offered in PC1. Perhaps a series of "Tommy Operations" DLCs!

2. German-Italian African Campaign. My favorite theater of operations! Maybe too much Raiders of the Lost Ark? Elite Objective is to find the Ark of the Covenant? But more seriously, import some of your core from AO1940. I've commented at length on my ideas on this previously elsewhere so I'll leave it at that.

3. US Campaign - Truthfully, I have far less interest with an American Campaign (outside of the Pacific ) so there is a big drop after #2. I don't really understand why...I am American so it's not that. It would of course begin with Operation Torch, Italy, D-Day, and on towards Germany. Maybe I find it less interesting because there is so little opportunity for variance in battles and areas when compared to all of the possibilities I alluded to above with a British campaign.

4. Soviet Corps - This would normally rate higher, but I think I am suffering from some Eastern Front fatigue. Many battles, though by no means all, would be the same as in AO Germany campaign. I enjoyed the one from PC1, and once again, would love to see it greatly expanded. If this campaign succeeds in converting me into an avid Communist as well as the AO series did turning me into a hardened Nazi, then you know the team who developed it did a good job.

5. An Italian Campaign - This would be similar to the German African Campaign, but I think they really should be merged and greatly expanded. So it really would a German-Italia Campaign where you must use units from both countries.

I'd love to see micro campaigns as I have mentioned earlier, but I doubt those would be undertaken by anyone other than modders.
