i havent yet played campaign cuz starting positions arent up yet, not starting armies. and i never played etw though in my ntw campaigns ive always faced alot of resistance, fought big stacks etc. and have been attacked alot, so much it started to annoy me.cuz i couldnt hold my frontline effectively with all the sabotage going on.

as for the machine guns, ive seen a texture for it, so i guess theyll be in somewhere in the future. flamethrowers probably will stay a fantasy :P but i think its cool for the variaty of units. now there are only 3 sorts infantry that can be recruited.
