War Plan + War Plan Pacific

Oubaas recently planted this mine in my mind by reminding me with a casual comment that this game existed. I considered War Plan when it arrived, but for some reasons then walked by. I now consider to get it, but maybe the Pacific title first - question is whether I can expect that any possible improvements over the first game have been implemented in the Pacific game, any letdowns and flaws that were corrected in the seocnd game? Or is it just the exact same gameplay, without any polishing added, thus being only a "mission pack?"

And can the full war played in one giant "mission", or is it limited to missions partitioning the war?

I played War in the East, and was a bit overwhelmed by it, did not really enjoy it (but deeply respected it). One or two notches less on the escalation and logistics management scale might be more enjoyable for me.

I am waiting for Second Front at the end of this month. Possible that I will buy WP before that - or long time after that, for I hope and expect SF to keep me busy, I am really waiting for that one since I first time heard of it.

Here are some video reviews. The fiorts is pretty positive.

The second one has some cons and wishes, some of which are no longe rrelevant since updates took care of soem of them.

Note, in the comments of the second video the deveeoper mentions that he is working on the War Plan 2 engine.

This review is on the first War Plan.
