I'm taking my sweet time on the campaign, just finished the third scenario, and played a number of the 'skirmish' scenarios. Love the game but so far I've been unimpressed w/ the AI and I don't consider myself that good of a player.
Aside: I still party like it's 1989. Which is the 'save' button.

That's probably a UI/AI bug in itself... there was a clear path the other way, why would it ever route through something it can get stuck in when there's no reason to?
The second time, I was on the final turn and decided to overrun the objective with my mark IV, and the overrun got locked up into a loop where I couldn't target the building to fire, or ram. being a long scenario, I was not very happy being 2+ hours into it (again) to be screwed on the final turn. thankfully, I did a save game and load and even though what loaded was a little odd, it still let me finish the scenario.
So fair warning, things are still a bit dodgy so save often.
Other than that, overall I'm very happy with the concepts in the scenarios. most of them play well, even if they didn't seem particularly difficult. I really think the last one is unbalanced; it was way too easy, especially with the reinforcements. There were still a few lingering bugs around disabled units that probably helped a little, but they didn't make that much of a difference. I still had an overwhelming force at the end of the game.
I think with some AI improvements, they would be harder/more balanced
