Why is it that when you complete the Panzer Corps Campaign as Germany with a marginal victory in Berlin the chart says exit, but if you complete the Africa Corps Campaign as Germany with a marginal victory in British India the chart says dismissed. Why the difference.

Great Campaign and US Corps can both be played separately on their own and out or order (units are provided by devs in that case) or they can be played in a serie where your experienced units from previous year are imported into following year. All the other Campaigns (including Allied) are on their own, separate in every way from each other.
42 East/West branch out into two separate paths until the end, each with own units. Only common thing is you get to pick the path at end of '41 GC campaign. I recommend East for first try as it plays out similarly only more complex. West has a bit more creative freedom in comparison.

If by 1939-1935 (1945?) you mean original Campaign (Wehrmacht) then no, east/west isn't a part of that. Wehrmacht is around 12 missions long, GC is 10 times larger in total.

I'm new to this game, so a quick question. If I start in the 1939-1935, will I also play 1941, 1943 (east) and 1943 (west)? And as the allies, if I play 1940 campaign, will it go through all the other campaigns?

I.E, is the only difference in campaigns starting positions?

Thank you very much for the steam prize I've got today. Really appreciate.

I am trying to make a campaign but the editor manual didnt have any thing about how to set campaign branch. Is there anybody know it?

@Zapp
Aha I understand now, thanks for straightening it out for me. Believe I encountered a similar technique, but in much smaller scope, only once more. Don't ask me where though.

Gotta admit I have my reservations with this approach. It needlessly inflates the campaign tree making it appear like more effort was put it, while in actuality it was just a good ol' copy-pasta job. They could have at the very least shuffle some units around, anything. Geez :)

[Zapp]

@Nilex: the game can very well feature two identical game maps, one named "map" and one "mapA" (just an example). And for that to be fully intentional and no accident.

The purpose is this: a previous scenario can link to "map" on a regular victory, but to "mapA" on a decisive victory. This allows the campaign tree to be more sophisticated - for example, that you need a decisive win both on the preceding scenario AND on the "map" scenario to reach a special bonus scenario.

DV -> mapA -> DV -> special bonus
V -> map -> DV -> just the next regular scenario

That can't be achieved without this trick.

Thought to report that in your GC '44 East, battles spanning from Poltava to Warsaw Uprising may have two different map versions, depending if player took Narva (north) or Jassy Kishinev (south) route, but comparing actual files for binary difference resulted in them being identical.
Bit strange how they annotated campaign tree both in-game and in the official forum topic (panzercorps.gamepedia too) so they appear like different versions of the same battlefield.

Oh well, just wanted to mention it in case it ever comes up. Thanks for extremely useful and clean tree overview, especially inclusion of mission dates. I regularly used this to plan unit upgrades ahead of time and save Prestige, and that mostly depends on availability date. Proved invaluable in Allied Corps and choosing best out of confusing (in terms of cost/performance ratio) British tanks upgrade paths.
