Campaign?

[BryanMan50]

I just ordered the game, and I was wondering if there is a campaign or if the player just selects a scenario to play.

CM has two game modes: Scenarios and Operations.

Scenarios can really be classified as firefights or minor engagements, because the scenarios only tend to last around 30 minutes of actual game time. There is also no ammo replenishments during scenarios.

Operations are several battles fought on one LARGE map. The map will change from battle to battle depending on how far the attacker has advanced or been beaten back. Previously knocked out vehicles will still be on the field if they are within the new battle map. Between the battles, units will receive additional ammo and hopefully re-acquire some of their wounded. (Not all casualties in CM are KIA, in fact a very small percentage are KIA.)

But to bluntly answer your question, no, CM does not feature Campaigns as such like other wargames. The reasoning behind this is that it is in fact, *unrealsitic* because most combat units only served in one or two campaigns through the war anyway. The idea behind having CORE units in which you take through the whole war is not realsitic based on what I said above.

How many battles make up an operation usually? And are the operations connected so it gives it more of a campaign feel to it, or are they all separate?

Five or six usly but there can be up to 20. THere all on the same map but they are split into battles of up to 25 or 30 turns.
