I received the original and rolling thunder, should I have received other expansion packs with Anthology?

I think the other add-ons were third party expansions, so that might explain.

The game description on GOG states that the package includes Iron Division, I did not get that game.

Hi, after the 1.0.0.17 version of the installer they removed the Iron Division shortcut as it simply just linked to Burning Horizon - Rolling Thunder. You can find the missions from Iron Division as 'custom chapters' and 'custom missions' in Blitzkrieg: Burning Horizon - Rolling Thunder.

Took me a moment to realize this myself, as i expected it to be more than a custom chapter as well, but hope this explains why its not shown at install and not really mentioned anywhere besides in the .txt documentation of it.

WWh14 beat me to it :-)

Check the Iron Division readme that was installed with the game. Here's the relevant part:

IMPORTANT:

You can find the missions from "Iron Division" either as "custom chapters" or as "custom missions" in your "Blitzkrieg Anthology: Burning Horizon - Rolling Thunder" installation.

"Custom chapters" :

Budapest Medal
Grey Tigers

"Custom missions" :

Carthage 1943 I + II
Tank School: Lesson I - IV

The multiplayermaps which are included in "Blitzkrieg Anthology: Iron Division" are for the multiplayer part of "Blitzkrieg Anthology: BH - RT".
To play these maps you have to start the "Blitzkrieg Anthology: BH - RT" - multiplayer.

Gonna list a few of the unofficial add-ons:

1.Green Devils (used to be included in the some releases)

2. Total Challenge series I - V and MP

3. Mission Kursk

4. Mission Barbarossa

5. Operation North

Other games on the Enigma Engine:

1. Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath/The Day After: Fight for Promised Land /Caribbean Crisis (yeah, it had 3 names)

2. Cuban Missile Crissis: Ice Crusade

3. Stalingrad

4. Talvisota: Icy Hell

5. WW1: The Great War

6. Desert Law

7. Panzerkrieg - Burning Horizon II

None of those are easy to find or very easy to play on the modern operating systems. And none of them are bad games.

In contrast, there are very few games based on BK2:

1.Frontline: Fields of Thunder

2.Great Battles: Battle of Tobruk

If anyone knows of more games that are using the BK2 "improved" engine... Feel free to add them. I know that there are some more released only in Russia.

Still, you'd think they would've made that more clearly noted.
Happened to me too, I saw "anthology" and thought awesome all the blitzkrieg games and theeenn only 2 campaigns and i was...oh.. but, oh well. Anyone knows if you can even get the other expansions? I'm guessing gog won't bring them here?
