This is the one and only CC game I do not own.

Moving forward and looking to purchase, is it any good with regard to it's predecessors?

GTC is very similar to PiTF with a few new wrinkles -
1. a rolling artillery barrage or normally targeted arty barrage can be set in deploy to start at the beginning of battle.
2. AT guns can be given 'camouflage' by setting them to ambush in Deploy. This reduces their visibility until they fire.
3. Arty and mortar barrages can be tweaked in the Campaign.txt file for accuracy and more/less rounds/tubes/delay per barrage.

The chief complaint, as always, is the lackluster solo play AI. Which is a particular issue when you play the defending side.
