Ok thanks for the quick replies Arzok and Schrullenhaft.

Hello all, couple of quick questions firstly: 1. If I download the Centauro add-on, will the new Crusader tanks be available to the British army in the main TOW2 campaign? Or are they unplayable and just for the Italian missions? 2. If I wanted to pre-order Kursk 1943, the only option is a download and mail version. When will the download only option be available for pre-orders? Since I got the download version of TOW2 and found that to be more convenient. Thx for your time guys. Thadius.

Do you think Japanese armour would be a viable gameplay mechanic for a game as realistic as TOW? I would love to play a game with Japanese armoured units, but I know the IJA critically ignored armoured vehicle development until it was too late. Seeing a Chi-ha or Ha-go going toe to toe with allied armour would be fun

I really like the fact that a company sat down and fleshed out a good Italian campaign, and it really does show the fact that early war tanks are just as much fun to play as than late war models. I would love to see a european Blitzkrieg campaign add-on that involves a French campaign so you can use all of those cool looking french tanks. Does anyone think a TOW in the pacific would be feasible? Have a British, Austrailian, American and Japanese campaign with all the relevant tanks? Just asking since the Centauro pack has shown what can be done with an army that is considered very poor by alot of people.

Thx AleMichi, I will definitely get this now

@Moon Is there any chance that you could post a list of the new units and vehicles in the Centauro pack please?

@Centauro Any chance you can post a list of all the new weapons and vehicles please? And is it possible to play the Vanilla TOW2 british campaign with the new Crusader tanks?

What is the complete list of new vehicles in Centauro? I know the main chunk will be Italian armour and vehicles, but I noticed Crusader tanks. Is the Matilda in there also? And is it possible to play say the British campaign with the new crusader tanks? The british armour selection is exactly 1 tank which is a little poor compared to other WW2 games that have plenty more.

Thx for the update Moon and Sneaksie.

Well it would go without saying that Dora and Thor would be off map artillery call in abilities. We would be talking lots of infantry on the map, which could degenerate into pure chaos but still be a new style of play for TOW which mainly focuses on tanks. Although I am glad Italy will be getting its own expansion soon for TOW2, I would really like to see some missions centering around the Italian forces in Russia. I would say the same about Romania, since they were involved in the Stalingrad sector and would involve some combined arms missions for both nations.

*slaps head* Ok obviously didn't look hard enough Just remembered it being on the mission screen in TOW and didn't think to look in the options for an option like that, thanks Sneaksie.

Is it possible to modify a file in the battlefront folder to unlock all the campaign missions? I don't fancy messing with the editor to make the missions easier, just having an option to play any mission would be better for me. Pity this doesn't have the same option from TOW 1 where you could ignore campaign loss and continue. Thanks in advance

I not long finished reading Osprey's Sevastopol campaign book and found that a really interesting and very well written book. I would love to see a campaign featuring the Russian defenders versus the German/Romanian attackers. It would be a totally different campaign relying on artillery and infantry assaults with very few tanks involved. A definite challenge.

Wow cool pic, shows how much effort they put into the armour penetration values. Although it would be nice to hear if this is going to be an add on or a stand alone game in the TOW2 series.

I guess this is a seperate game in the series, since the 1C site mentions it is "a new game in the theatre of war series" rather than another expansion pack. With the content it will probably be a full priced game all considered.
