Where to start?

[Grabenkrieg]

I apologize in advance if this sort of thread is frowned upon. I tried looking for similar ones, maybe not hard enough though.

I'm rather new to Panzer Campaigns, and operational wargaming in general for that matter. I learned of JTS through Squad Battles, SB:First World War being the only full game I currently own so far.

After browsing the website more than a few times and playing the Mius '43 demo i'm interested in getting into the TOC series, but i'm not sure which game I want to start with. Coming from Squad Battles, France '14 seems like it might be a good choice, although i'm more interested in late war Western Front - and I fear that the lower technology represented in that game might throw me off were I to play PzC or MC later. A shortage of funds means I don't have much room for experimentation!

A game with a sizable number of smaller scenarios is ideal. The giant 250 turn campaigns look impressive but imposing, and I want to spend time learning the system in more manageable scenarios. I would greatly appreciate your advice - just by browsing I can tell the dedication and knowledge in this community is outstanding.

Any of the series' is fine by me - FWWC, PzC, MC.
