As you know, our [b]Nemesis DLC[/b] [i]only[/i] contains the two mentioned divisions or battlegroups with a host of new units and weapon systems. These mini-expansions [i]do not[/i] contain new maps, campaigns, or scenarios.
The other [b]Nemesis [/b] choices that didn’t make the cut will go back into the [b]Eugen[/b] ideas cupboard. Who knows, we might dust them off for future use!
