[Alex Fiedler]

Get some digital eye candy detailing the release of this compilation of strategy classics

Matrix Games and Campaign Series Legion are excited to release a pack of screenshots John Tiller’s Campaign Series. This compilation combines many of the popular World War II turn-based tactical games from Talonsoft’s Campaign Series into one affordable package. Gamers will spend countless hours testing their strategic might against a clever AI enemy in the large variety of theaters which come with John Tiller’s Campaign Series. Such theaters include: West Front, East Front, East Front 2, and the Rising Sun platoon-level combat series, as well as all of the official add-ons and expansion packs.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “John Tiller’s Campaign Series is more than just a re-release of several wargaming classics into one package, although that would still be a great buy for any Campaign Series fan. This Matrix Games edition compilation includes a variety of new features and content which will excite the veteran Campaign Series buff and further entice players who have yet to experience the series’ addicting gameplay.”

The John Tiller’s Campaign Series exemplifies tactical war-gaming at its finest by bringing you the entire collection of TalonSoft's award-winning campaign series. Apart from the classic gameplay and style that originally enticed gamers into a Campaign Series frenzy, players will have the option to play “What-if” scenarios like a Soviet/Western Allies confrontation not only in Europe but also in the Far East. Additionally, the compilation includes hundreds of unit types for almost every country and every combat type. The wide variety of units include Cossacks, operational trains, Chinese Junks and Sampans, river gunboats, captured equipment, siege mortars, river ferries, German landing barges, sea going warships (for the Baltic), amphibious tanks, mine clearing tanks, and dozens of pre-war models and prototypes. Lastly, John Tiller’s Campaign Series comes complete with Unit, Map, and Scenario editors which allow users to create battles from scratch including all five major climate zones.

Ah ha. Signs of life!

Shame that the screenshots are low-res; would have been nice to see them in full screen mode. Perhaps the next batch?

Indeedy, great to see...but it would've been nice to see high res, full screen ones

What the screenshots tell me is that the game will look the same.  The only difference I saw was that the victory hexes for Germany have changed from the black cross to the Nazi swastika. 
 
Will the SS have different bases?  Somebody somewhere made that suggestion.
 
Have the bases for the Netherlands and Fascist Italy changed?
 
The East Front II screenshots are from the Ambush scenario.  Those are Slovakian troops.
 
I didn't recognize the West Front screenshots, but my best guess is they are from one of the Market Garden scenarios.

I sent over an image last night that shows off a number of the new units. I would imagine it is coming.

Take care and good luck

It's from Counterattack at Arras (1940). I can't believe a I recognised it.

Those slipped in , it will be the "Balkenkreuz" on the VL marker.

Yeah, Screenshots.  I wish all three games had the same launcher, but I understand the issues.  Heres hoping for a future patch.

You'll be able to access the three games from one main menu.

Eventually, all three games will be in one. Patience is required for that though!

I was one of those people who wasn't able to get round the directx loading issue with EF2 and WF thirty-six months ago, I also had to replace my old system and my save files for characters developed through the dynamic campaign system were lost. Consequently no Campaign Series play for three years. Looking forward to resuming my acquaintance with the best WWII war gaming system ever. However, I am a little concerned that the release of new images and the change in the marketing of the product may be indicative of a further delay?

There are no additional delays that I am aware of.

Take care and good luck
