That's correct, no campaign mode, just the individual scenarios.
That's too bad, because ALL they really need to do is string the scenarios, but have the carriers you get dependent up what's "still afloat" or "not in repairs". For example, the Lexington could survive Coral Sea and end up at Midway or a later scenario. Maybe even get upgraded AA guns or newer aircraft.
This sort of stuff is always cool.
Even cooler, is if there is an element of grand strategy involved in which you know the Japs are attacking Midway and know they are hitting the Aleutians, and have to divide up and assign your carriers to each engagement, then play out the battles.
Stuff like that can bring so much more to a game than just a bundle of scenarios.
Now that´s an interesting idea you mention... not just for this game but generally for campaign modes in such games: occasionally, or regularly, being forced to divide your available forces between two concurrent operations in widely separated regions - or deciding to essentially cede one operation to concentrate on the other, as the US did with the Aleutians in ´42.
