Where DW really shines is Multiplayer games.
While that mission is quite good and is dynamic enough that it should play out differently each time, it's still a tactical scenario... not the total war campaign that the previous poster had in mind.

While it's theoretically possible that you could create a whole multiplayer campaign in DW in a single mission, it would be impractical to play because of the transit distances requires without the use of time lapse; also consider the rate of disconnects and CTDs with no way from dropped players to log back on.

If you want DW to represent a campaign, the only way to do it that approaches being practical, is to have a human being manage the big picture and create DW matches that are representative of the tactical battles the big picture leads to.
