Status: offline 		I enjoy smaller scenarios to learn the game and evaluate unit performance, but ultimately this game is all about the grand campaign, since smaller scenarios just cannot offer me the operational freedom I have come to love from this series.

What would be a blast to play though, would be an option to set the AI to manage designated theaters for you. It would be fantastic if you could play as an army or corps commander in an AI managed grand campaign, where you receive objectives from supreme hq.

The first edition of War in the Pacific had such an option to set certain areas to AI mode, as far as I remember that didn't work too well back then.

Thanks, like to hear that although I still haven't decided to buy yet.
