1939 carries on the story of Stefan Wagner and the General from the SCW expansion and maintains that same quality. 1939 plays it by the books and sticks closer to the classic Panzer Corps formula, with AI allies being no longer present. This was something of a sad fact for me because I loved having an AI bro that I was going through the scenarios with but if you didn't like this part of SCW, then you won't have to worry about it here. AO: 1939 takes you to locations that you pretty much never see in wargames, with the Saar Offensive featuring prominently, as well as Czechoslovakia, Denmark and of course, Poland. It is definitely not just a retread of the previous Grand Campaign, which I love. There are branching paths, secret heroes you can earn, hidden weapons caches and unique bonuses for if you import a core vs not importing so there is tons of replay value, and the writing is just as good as in SCW. Stefan Wagner is such a good lad. The overall package is outstanding and its for some reason cheaper than SCW, WTF! To conclude, If the armed subjugation of Europe is your idea of a good time then Siegfried, this is your ticket to Valhalla.
