- ▄▄▀ ▐██▄
- ███ VR Designs has been reinforced with designer Cameron Harris to create a ███
- ███ new never-seen-before wargaming experience: Decisive Campaigns: ███
- ███ Barbarossa. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ This revolutionary eastern front wargame covers the German invasion of ███
- ███ the Soviet Union in 1941. It blends the latest evolution of the ███
- ███ Decisive Campaigns hex and counter engine with deep narrative, RPG- ███
- ███ style people management and in-depth semi-randomized decision systems. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ You are in full operational command. ███
- ███ Can you make the right decisions to turn the tide of war? ███
- ███ Features ███
- ███ Command a true operational structure. Can you balance and prioritise ███
- ███ three different Theatres in order to achieve your objective? ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Are you able to work within a Command Hierarchy with both Superiors and ███
- ███ Subordinates in an environment where strategy and politics often ███
- ███ conflict? ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Focus on what's important, ignore what isn't and execute a winning ███
- ███ strategy in order to overcome a take-no-prisoners AI. Or a devious meat ███
- ███ brain. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Set Army postures, assign Theatre based Artillery, allocate Tactical ███
- ███ Air Support and order your Theatre Commanders to provide specialised ███
- ███ battalions and staff assets to the Panzergruppe or Army of your choice. ███
- ███ Don't be upset if they refuse. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Detailed mechanical breakdown, mileage and fatigue systems. Realistic ███
- ███ climatic model. Every degree below zero matters. Experience the effects ███
- ███ on men and machines of severe frostbite and blizzards. How far are you ███
- ███ willing to push them? Pull a Panzergruppe out of the line for a refit ███
- ███ or rest an Army. Do you maintain your Blitzkrieg or throttle back to a ███
- ███ more sustained offensive posture to conserve fuel? ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Deal with the Dark side of the war. Trade ethics off against ███
- ███ operational imperatives. Answer to a War Crimes Tribunal if you lose. ███
- ███ Or order both sides to observe the Geneva Convention and fight a ███
- ███ gentleman's war. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Can you stand up to the Fⁿhrer? Are you willing to put it all on the ███
- ███ line, demand Military Independence, and risk being fired? Or would you ███
- ███ prefer to toe the line and support the Fⁿhrer in whatever goal he is ███
- ███ currently fixated upon? ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Receive a detailed High Command assessment of your Command Potential ███
- ███ each turn. You're being watched and evaluated. Pour over a ███
- ███ comprehensive breakdown of all your activity at game end. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Experience a realistic combat engine developed and fine tuned over many ███
- ███ years and three previous games. One that takes into account hundreds of ███
- ███ variables and is optimised for eastern front warfare. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Fight to get winter clothing and equipment for your men. Argue with ███
- ███ G÷ring over fuel allocations. Order your individual Divisions to report ███
- ███ their status. Fifty different stats and values are tracked for each. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Watch as your logistical pipelines visibly stretch across the vastness ███
- ███ of Russia behind your hard driving Panzer columns as they thrust and ███
- ███ encircle. Decide when to order a temporary shutdown and relocate your ███
- ███ Forward Supply Bases forward. Horde your precious truck columns and ███
- ███ hope that your locomotives can cope with the washouts, collisions, ███
- ███ partisans, lack of signals, poor quality tracks and frozen water pipes ███
- ███ typical of the Ostfront. Order the Luftwaffe to fly emergency resupply ███
- ███ missions when it all goes wrong. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Swap sides and play the part of a ruthless Soviet dictator, backed into ███
- ███ a corner, armed only with a rusty knife. Is your pathological urge to ███
- ███ win enough to overcome your inner demons and redeem yourself by ███
- ███ stopping the world's most professional, undefeated, army from kicking ███
- ███ down the gates of Moscow? Recall who left those gates unlocked in the ███
- ███ first place? ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Be prepared to shoot your Marshals. Fling your troubleshooters from one ███
- ███ crisis to the next. Hope that they don't get delayed enroute. ███
- ███ Ruthlessly feed your Conscript armies into the meat grinder, trading ███
- ███ time and space, desperately holding on for Rasputitsa and the depths of ███
- ███ winter. Prioritise one Front over others. Gather your Siberians and ███
- ███ push back hard. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Take charge of a solidly researched Historical OOB that covers a wide ███
- ███ range of unit types and nationalities but one that keeps the unit count ███
- ███ manageable and enables the game to be played in days, not weeks. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ A deep, immersive, game experience with reduced micromanagement. Make ███
- ███ tough, meaningful, decisions with difficult trade offs by just one ███
- ███ click. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Rather than providing a long list of rinse and repeat scenarios there ███
- ███ is a single, hand crafted, campaign that has significant depth and is ███
- ███ designed for extensive replayability. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Operation Barbarossa. The largest military conflict in history. June ███
- ███ æ41 to February æ42. Hitler's attempt to tear out the Soviet jugular. ███
- ███ Divisional scale. 30km hexes. 4 day turns. ███
- ███ ███
- ███ Above all, experience the myriad, conflicting, challenges of ███
- ███ OPERATIONAL COMMAND in a no holds barred, knock down fight. ███
