Alternate Start Dates.

I appreciate it has been said that there will be later entry points, but there are a lot of the more experienced players complaining about the difficulty in the introductory scenarios.

Equally, I am sure they would not wish to miss out on a significant portion of the games content by starting later.

Would it be possible to put in an additional option of an earlier start point with the BEF ( British Expeditionary Force ) in 1940?
A few of the original PzC scenarios could be put in but fought from the British side.

That should be a tougher start for those that feel they need it.

Personally, I don't have a problem with the Italian scenarios; it can be viewed not only as an easy entry/tutorial, but also historically accurate. Those fights were indeed a "happy time" for the British in the Med. ;)

I do think you are tight that the BEF should get some tip of the hat. Not clear how, as North Africa provides a nice point to start slow and build the core, and scenarios like Stonne and Dukirk would be a bit complicated. I understand the game designer's logic with the way it is and I don't see too big a problem.

I notice in the individual scenario tab, there are scenarios like Kasserine and Torch that don't integrate into the whole game, so maybe add them there? Or are Kasserine and Torch, etc. supposed to be integrated at some point?

There will be an "american" entry point into campaign, which will start with Torch and Kasserine, and from there it will rejoin with the main branch in Tunisia.

I agree it is OK as introductory, and I quite like them anyway as a soft start.

I just thought my suggestion would spice it up for those that find the early scenarios too easy.
