All that would seem to apply to any of the rules out there for historicals.

Battlegroup are WW2 rules… each supplement is themed to a campaign within WW2 such as Kursk or Normandy.

It’s the same as FoW army books or Bolt Action equivalent.

The rules are not specific to a particular battle, the campaign books are. It’s the same as FoW army books themed to units of a specific time or place.

The Battlegroup rulebook is generic for WW2 (although the two lists included in it are Canadians and SS for Normandy) but you then choose the theatre of interest. I don’t see much difference in that approach to other WW2 systems to be honest… they all have rulebooks and then expansion books specific for either a nation or theatre, and sometimes both.
