As I mentioned I have SF2. I've played Task Force Thunder and the two campaigns you mentioned plus a few more that were either included with the game or that I downloaded from the usual sites.

I've talked a lot about it on other sites, but Battlefront were headed in the right direction with the Operations which came out with CMBB. They were flawed, but the concept was more in line with what I have in mind. Then that was scrapped entirely after CMAK and we are left with what I call the episodic system we have been playing for 15 years now.

I think Combat Mission:Campaigns was intended to fill this gap, but that failed and nothing filled the void. I don't hate the current system, but I do think it's far less than it could be, or even should be, given the fantastic battlefield, and excellent spotting, ballistics and C2 that Combat Mission offers.
