How to actually play Origins?

[Most Angry Man]

Hello I purchased a key for Origins, and Steam is indicating that I own it and that it is in my library. However, I only see the old version of the game (which I've never owned). When I install and open the OLD version, there is no indication of any new content being available. Even in the DLC section it only lists other packs for the old game. How can I actually play the new version of this game or did I get duped somehow? Thanks

Ok maybe someone can help solve this mystery. I am thoroughly BAFFLED by this, I am also very new to Steam and PC games so I'm sorry. I've NEVER bought any other game except "Assault Squad 2: Men of War ORIGINS"
IN my STEAM LIBRARY, in the left column it says I have installed "Men of War: Assault Squad 2", obviously not the same game. However, in the DLC section, it says "Assault Squad 2: Men of War ORIGINS" and shows as INSTALLED and ADDED TODAY. There is a check box next to "installed"... I can check and uncheck it and it doesnt seem to make any difference.

When I click "PLAY" it launches "Men of War: Assault Squad 2" ... and there seems to be no way to play the content that I actually purchased. Is this just a bad key?

No, Assault Squad 2: Men of War Origins launches through Men of War Assault Squad 2, press the single player button and you should have access to the 3 campaign scenarios.

Ok thanks, sorry for the confusion.

Hi mate, DD is correct, you need to play Assault Squad 2, and yes, then go into Single Player...
You must then click on Select Mission... That will then give you access to the original but updated campaigns... 'Fox Hunt' (Allied), 'Blazing Lands' (German), and 'The Road to Victory' (Russian)

OH I just bought all the men of war games and i wanted to play them in order and i loaded up men of war 1 and saw the campaign names.... then I loaded up assault squad 2 and I couldn't find the campaigns because under each nation they changed the map names....
So I initially clicked on soviet union thinking that was the men of war 1 campaign and saw a different map name for the first scenario and assumed it wasn't it

But your post made me realize that it was it... they must have changed the names of the scenarios/missions when they updated the game
