Other than the usual feedback, we are particularly interested in feedback on the variety of special objectives in DLC 1944.

This DLC has more special, non VH orientated scenarios than any previous DLC, and we want to make sure they all work and are understandable as they can possibly be.

Poltava is an especially unique scenario, and we're looking forward to hearing your feelings about it!

DLC 1944 BETA should begin soon, either this weekend or shortly after, and I just wanted to thank everyone in advance for your time and effort in helping us create the best DLCs we can. :D

I don't have a campaign tree visual, but I'll type it out here.

One progression path is:

Korsun Pocket
Korsun Breakout (CHOICE)
Narva
Strachwitz Offensive
Poltava (OPTIONAL BONUS)
Mogilev
Babruysk
Minsk44
Vilna
Warsaw Uprising
Budapest44

Korsun Pocket
Korsun Breakout (CHOICE)
Jassy Kishinev
Poltava (BONUS)
Mogilev
Babruysk
Minsk44
Vilna
Warsaw Uprising
Return to Kishinev
Budapest44



So your this is what your North/South decision effects.
I would say Narva/Strachwitz is the easier path because:

Return to Kishinev is quite difficult, you'll see why when you get there (Historically, big Soviet attack AND the Romanians turn against you!)
And Narva + Strachwitz gives you more time before you hit the Bagration scenarios. You want more time to build a better CORE and prestige reserve before you hit the Bagration scenarios.
