I think (taking from my recent experience with the '39 campaign), this is too many scenarios. And having them separate from the main game means the DLC campaigns end in 1940. PERIOD. Take into account the rate of experience gain, you should also have 4 and 5 star units be the end of 1940, which is a bit much.

I would much prefer extra scenarios and scenario paths included within the original campaign. Maybe poland is 2 or 3 scenarios (max). Also, I think the experience rate should be adjusted to a lower pace when adding in more scenarios.

Will be disappointed if the Afrika Korps expansion is stand alone like these first two Grand Campaigns. The '39 one felt overlong and monotonous, and I will not bother with the '40 one, even though I purchased it.

There would be nothing wrong with taking the original Panzer Corps campaign and just beefing it up slightly. So far, original PG still feels much more epic and alive than this game.

(Side note: Please get some gloss into the graphics. They look as dry and drab as a 1970's SPI game map and chit counters.)

41 is already in beta testing.
It will end in 40 if you don't want more DLCs.
Besides these DLC scenarios are not balanced to be incorporated into PC main campaign.
They are balanced for the Grand Campaign DLC(39 to 45).

I'm thinking the original Panzer Corps seems too sparse in regard to scenarios and options, while the Grand Campaign seems too much. But that's my take.

I do hope the African Campaign will work with the original game; that will be a plus to me.

Status: offline 		If the current campaign is too small, and the complete DLC pack is too big...  No problem!

You can grab only say... 39 and 40.  Link the two together, you get 28 scenarios in your campaign.

Or grab 42 43 44, when they're ready.  Link these three together, you get a 40 scenario campaign.

Each DLC is a starting point, you dont have to buy them all or have start at 39.

Sorta like how Barbarossa in the base campaign is a starting point.  This is how DLC 1941 will work.

I thought you could not continue from the DLC's into the regular campaign with your cadre of units.

If someone were so included though, sure you could 'mod' them to link together if you really wanted to.

You can not get 4 or 5 stars

Status: offline 		You can't keep reloading your units with experienced recruits because you run out of prestige and can't replace lost units that the darn AI kills!! So this isn't going to be a large issue.

You still have the original game, you don't need the DLC's if you don't want them. Plus, there will be a DLC for 39,40,41,42,43,44 and 45. So when they are done programming, you will have a Grand Campaign because they all attach together to cover the entire war. Plus, they only cost 5 dollars each(35 total) if you aren't a glutton like me who wants the box! (105 total)

I like em.
