The new 20-mission branching campaign thankfully involves far less slaughter of poorly equipped, static Arabs than 'Task Force Thunder' did. Regularly you find yourself on the back foot, scrambling to build scratch defences as the Baathists counter-attack in force. A sizeable haul of extra standalone scenarios and quick battle maps cement the sense of progress. Marines is not essential, but it is a perfect way for deserters like ourselves to rejoin the fray.
