RE: Anyone missing CMx1-style campaigns?
OK I'm going to jump in here and say, IMO, the omission of CMx1 style campaigns is the biggest flaw of CMx2. I miss those CMx1 campaigns where terrain battle damage carried on from mission to mission, where the burnt out hulks of tanks littered the battlefield, where saving every soldier was key for the next mission, and where seizing terrain features was extremely important for deciding the placement on your forces for the next mission. Sigh, those were the days. It seems strange that CMx2, in this fashion, has literally stepped back in time by not providing us with such a campaign system. When I first purchased CMBN, I was quite shocked that this had been omitted in CMx2.
To me, the real flavour of this game were the campaigns....keeping your force alive for the next battle really mattered!
So I am hoping that in the future this can be corrected. Again, IMO :)
