DLC's question

I recently returned to PC2 after an absence and installed game version 1.16.03.
Below are the current DLC's,none of which i've got yet, so could I ask if after buying them, the scenarios in them can be fished out and played as individual standalone scens, or must I spend days or weeks wading through a campaign in order to reach the scen i want to play?

If you open a scenario in the editor and click on the little play icon on the taskbar, it opens it up in-game turn 0 and you are able to get some units and play the mission out. I am not 100% sure you will get all the scripts right that might be checking awards/tokens form earlier scenarios or things like commendation points, but missions should be perfectly playable this way. But don't take my word for it, try out a scenario from one of the core campaigns like that to make sure it will work for you, as I personally didn't attempt it like that.
I guess it works since this method allows map designers to easily playtest single missions like that.

Thanks, I just bought AO 1944 and am able to fish out the single scens to play..
