A ...it was actually nothing more than a rehash of older, previously unsuccessful campaigns.
B ...it was actually a rehash of previously unsuccessful campaigns.
C ...it was actually nothing more than a rehash of older, unsuccessful campaigns from the past.
D ...it was actually a rehash of older campaigns that had been unsuccessful.

The phrase 'nothing more than a rehash of older' is redundant. A 'rehash' inherently implies something old or previously done. Option B is the most concise and precise, removing the redundant terms without losing meaning.
