Great job all around on Panzer Corps! I'm in the process of wrapping up the Narvik scenario on the 1939 DLC Campaign, and I am consistently impressed by each scenario's unique victory objectives and overall "fun" factor (it's much too easy to lose track of time). However, their one drawback is the lack a significant departure from what the German army achieved during the Second World War. I think the easiest way to remedy this would be to offer another DLC, separate from the campaign path currently being developed, that would focus on historical "What-ifs." This DLC would consist of a series of scenarios which could have occurred, had the German army been more successful on the battlefield.

For example, the scenarios could include the following:

1) Race to Dunkirk (May 1940) - the player must prevent the evacuation of the BEF by (a) capturing Dunkirk and (b) allowing less than (x) amount of British transports from reaching the UK.
2) Operation Sealion (September 1940) - the player must land in the UK, capture London, and maintain control of certain sea hexes to permit naval supply of the army.
3) Operation Felix (January 1941) - the siege of Gibraltar. The player would also control certain units in the Spanish army.
4) Operation Typhoon (November 1941) - the player must occupy Moscow before both the Russian winter and Siberian units arrive in full force.
5) Operation Herkules (May 1942) - the invasion of Malta. The player would also control certain units in the Italian navy (naval warfare is a little underrepresented in Panzer Corps).
6) The Siege of Leningrad (September 1942) - the player must occupy Leningrad. The player would also control certain units in the Finnish army.
7) The Battle for the Urals (1944) - the player would have to push the Red Army behind the Urals.
The Battle for Washington DC (1945) - the player must occupy Washington.

These are just a few ideas (which I'm sure could be added upon once some North African/Middle East scenarios are developed). By having this DLC be a separate campaign, there wouldn't be any issues with integrating these "What-ifs" into the existing DLC's, and at the same time permit some (major) deviations from what happened in the history books.

Well I have good news for you. #1 is already in DLC 1940, and it's pretty much exactly how you describe it. It's the bonus mission, so not an entire multi-scenario campaign, but the goal of the mission is to eliminate Allied Evacuation Transports.

As for the other ideas, sure it could be possible. One of the great things about the system we have is that branching DLC campaigns are fully supported.
That means there could be a basic "Grand Campaign 1945" that is historical, and also an alternate "Invasion America 1945" both of which will allow you to import your DLC 1944 core into.

Our initially plan is for a purely historical DLC Grand Campaign. Once these 7 DLC are done, then we may produce additional historical or even fictional DLC campaigns. Even if we don't, some of our modders may create some pretty good work too!

With the proper set up and configuration, a modder can create a campaign that links into the official DLC campaigns! (Afrika, West Front, Pacific, or even outright fictional content)
