Enjoyed the map graphics, well done and a nice reduction of eyestrain from the glaring snows of the Russian front. There's a certain vibe old wargamers expect from North Africa campaign games, this expansion nails it.. The airplane canopy and wing graphics are all messed up after I downloaded Sandstorm. Can you fix this please?. I just finished the campaign and have to say nicely done. I have seen a lot of reviews that like the product, but give a bad review based on the price. The given the amount of time I spent playing the campaign and the quality, I would highly recommend this is you are a Order of Battle fan. If you have not tried this yet, really think you should.. Probably the best computer version of the entire North African campaign ever.Highly recommended!. tldr: Another Nazi only DLC with fantasy endings where you can't play as the Allies. Super easy, extremely linear and very, very boring. The main event:The sole draw of this campaign is that you get to use Italians for part of your army. Their units are bad. All of them. Well, except for their heavy towed artillery and light AT guns. These will carry you through the game. You can ignored allied tanks entirely as the Italians by keeping a couple of light AT guns behind your infantry. The AI is too dumb to use artillery to clear them out before sending in the tanks. Instead it gets its tanks murdered on the AT guns, then shoots the artillery at random. Most of the maps are so narrow - in a \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing campaign known for long range desert maneuvers - that it's trivially easy to create a murder wall of boom doom that slowly marches across the map. A few of them have pre-scripted AI events like units suddenly appearing from off map in your backline. One of them announced a massive British airborne landing in the rear which consists of a single unescorted paratrooper. This is pretty typical of the level of challenge you should expect. Won the campaign on normal without deploying any Germans - just Italians - by doing that + heavy Italian artillery.Fuel is not a relevant concern for the Nazis because ayy lmao. Apparently the month long round trip to move fuel to the front with trucks was defeated by Rommel's steely gaze. You can whup the British navy with the Italian navy in 42, which if you know anything about the naval war is pretty funny because the Italians lacked the fuel to even launch their battle fleet by then. Apparently the entire British navy available to defend Malta consists of a battleship, a battle cruiser and some random destroyers and cruisers. What if the British just counter attack and retake the incredibly isolated island? Oh don't worry about that, this is Order of Nazi Fantasy : Nazi War 1. There is also one air only map and one air\/naval map. In one you blow up some undefended convoys with your horde of Stukas and some Italian boats. In the other you blow up some undefended trucks with your horde of Stukas. Don't try to use Italian "tactical" bombers, they garbage and can't do any damage. Both maps are boring but mercifully quick.The Malta map is badly designed and the big challenge here is figuring out the right spots to land your paratroopers so that you can grab all the airfields before turn 7.I kept expecting the game to throw a major British offensive at me. Something that I'd actually struggle to beat back. The game never does that. You will occasionally run into stealth British trucks and random stuff like that. They implode when touched. Don't bother with your own equivalent, Sahariana. They are worse than useless.. This DLC made me like WW2 Italian forces. If that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is. Sandstorm is a great, sprawling DLC that takes you across North Africa, from Tunisia to Cairo and back. New terrian (cliffs) and sandstorms add to the experience, with narrow canyon passes being fought over while dogfights occur overhead and troops maneuver in the mountains above.This DLC seems 'long' and I mean that in a good way - there are plenty of missions, with 14. Some missions even start in different places based on your performance and victory in the previous missions, which is a great touch and should be done more in the future. I can't pick out a favorite scenario, but I appreciate the OoB devs are good at mixing up objectives and maps so that it never feels like a slog. If I have a complaint, it's that the scenario climax seems to come at the pentultimate mission, and the final mission felt like a victory lap. But it's a small complaint.I may never get tired of hearing Stukas dive to soften up entrenched troops along mountain passes as my Italian kubelwagen zooms around causing mischief, supported by Stugs in the distance and battle-hardened heavy German and Italian infantry. Can't recommend this one highly enough.. Great DLC, feels brand new due to new environment and weapons. The sandstorm effect is fantastic, thank goodness it mostly lasts for only one round. Nice variety in missions, only halfway through campaign, but really enjoying it so far.. As usual Order of Battle the newest dlc is spot on, love the addition to the Afrika Korps and is put together real good and gives you new equipment Armor etc along with Italy on your side i have all the dlc to Order of Battle and will continue supporting this game with the great dlc i say get it even at full price its worth it..... Just started playing and it looks good. On top of the allies but they are fighting back by cutting off supply lines. Usual OoB stuff but quite enjoyable at the moment.
