Campaign Faction, does it matter to story?

[Zoommair]

Hi all, just finished Supreme Commander original, and loved it! I'm just starting Forged Alliance, and I see the choice for faction is as you start the level, and doesn't seem to matter what faction I choose for the story. Is this true? I liked the original SupCom how each campaign was different, is it the same in Forged Alliance? or just for the first level? If the stories differ like the original, then I'll continue with the campaign as UEF and do it again as Aeon, then Cybran. But if it's all the same, then I'll probably pick Cybran since I enjoyed their units more in the original.

Thanks guys!

It does generally not matter.
each faction get diffrent optional objectives or extra starting options but the main story and mission remains the same.

Thanks!

Do the optional objectives differ enough to warrant playing through each faction? I'm a bit of a completionist, so even if the dialogues between differ, I might just play through each faction for that.

Not especially in terms of objectives, true in some maps there is a bigger impact than in others depending on the faction, you also do get differences in dialogue, however i would say even without any differences it is fun to play the different scenarios with the different factions anyway. :)
