Campaigns?

[Many Mariuses]

Hello all,

I recently started playing Panzer Campaigns. As a long time ASL player, I'm finding the Squad Battles series quite intriguing, and am thinking of picking up a title in the near future. Though I'm interested in virtually all of the titles, the two that are most appealing as an introduction to the system are Red Victory and Pacific War.

I slightly on the fence at this point. One factor that might prove deciding is the campaign feature. While I love PBEM, I tend to enjoy playing the AI in the evening as part of my "winding down" routine. However, I have two related questions.

1) Am I correct that Pacific War does not have a campaign option? I do not see one listed on the HPS website, but I thought I would check.

2) Are the campaigns worth it? My experience with the Panzer Campaigns system is that once I've played humans, the AI experience pales in comparison. My thought was that the "role-playing" aspect campaign option might add significant enjoyment to the single player experience.

-by the way, I am aware that in the past there has been some controversy regarding the campaign ending if the company commander is killed. This is not a deal breaker for me.
