Considering buying TOW2 - Questions...

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying TOW2, but I wanted to get some feedback from the group on some questions I have:

1- I'm not really interested in the Italian campaign, but I understand that those that have the Centuro expansion can't connect via multiplayer with those that don't. Shoud I purchase the expansion anyway?

2- How's the replayability with TOW2? The quik mission builder doesn't give you any randomness as far as where te enemy comes from, etc. Does setting up a skirmish using LAN multiplayer offer randomness and better replayability?

3- I have TOW and I'm wondering how much of an improvement the group feels TOW2 is (in general) over TOW?

Thnx!

just my opinion for what its worth....

Pros:

-Graphics and sounds much more detailed and appealing.

-The canned missions in the campaigns seem to flow better than TOW 1.

-Troops gather ammo and weapons on their own quickly

-you can enter buildings and pill boxes

-smoke by arty or grenades

-Its only $35

-good damage and physics model (like TOW1)

-battle generator, modding tools, map maker, scripting tools with manuals

-selectable morale i.e. turn panic off

Cons:

-much Fewer units to select in the battle generator

-still the occasional suicide by grenade

-sometimes enemy troops run right past each other without so much as a wave

- same TOW 1 battle generator, hard to see yellow markers on desert templates

General observations:

-point and click menu is radically different than TOW 1. Features more options but it is important to learn what a left click does and what right click options are available in the sub-menus.
