Salute. After almost 4 games of The Captains Expansion ruleset, I can say that this version is the most balanced, versatile, exciting and multi-layered I have played.
All 4 games so far have been different and it’s always been a long, even battle, with constant back and forth!
The game requires more planning both in operations and overall. The many new units (landing craft, paratroopers, elite, air transports etc.) offer almost countless tactical possibilities. And the “unlocking” of new game options (Total War, SS units, tank generals, additional units in the Pacific, etc.) or the formation of tank armies and entire army groups throughout the game takes the game to a whole new level.
I can warmly recommend this version and am happy to give it a test play ✌🏻
