Grim.Reaper Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sorry I could find any details by searching, so thought I would ask. To play the upcoming Breakthrough exapnsion, will it require the original base game or will it be completely stand alone? Trying to decide if I should buy now or just the expansion.

My understanding is the former. You will need to have a copy of the original game to use the expansion. Usually, there is a bundled price where you can buy the game plus the expansion for a savings in shipping or a small discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi Grim Reaper, Thanks for your interest and just to confirm, you will indeed need the base WWI game to play this expansion, I hope this helps. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua22 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have another question if you don't mind, since I don't own the base game but I want to play the expansion... will a complete package including both games be released as well? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yes that is always the case with our expansions, you can either purchase just the expansion if you already own the base game or a package that includes both games.

Joshua22 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thank you very much for the fast reply. Looking forward to this one as it really seems to improve the gameplay... IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 There are definitely improvements in the gameplay, but the most important part of "Breakthrough!" are the new campaigns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrashb Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 but the most important part of "Breakthrough!" are the new campaigns... Does this include WWII campaigns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 As far as I know: for the initial release there are no WW2 campaigns included. But as SC "The Great War" came out, the WW2 campaign "Storm over Europe" was published with 1.02 as a free Add On. There is nothing official yet, but I can imagine there is something "under consideration". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabelesius Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I guess 1.06 is included when you buy Breakthrough, right? I just ask when to start a new campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I can confirm that v1.06 will be included in the Bundle package for the up coming release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Just to clarify, the base game will not be updated when you purchase the Breakthrough expansion. To do that you'll still need to update it to v1.06 but it does not have to be at v1.06 for the expansion to run.... you just need the base game installed.
