About Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa Game

In Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa, players are tasked with commanding a true operational structure and must balance and prioritize three different Theatres in order to achieve their objective.

Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa is an innovative war strategy game developed by VR Designs and published by Slitherine Ltd. released in 2016. Set during the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the game offers players a unique wargaming experience blending 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.

Players are tasked with commanding a true operational structure, balancing and prioritizing three different Theatres in order to achieve their objective. As part of the command hierarchy, players must take into account the strategy and politics that often conflict within the game. The goal is to make the right decisions to turn the tide of war, while also focusing on what’s important and ignoring what isn’t.

Players can set Army postures, assign Theatre based Artillery, allocate Tactical Air Support, and order Theatre Commanders to provide specialised battalions and staff assets to the Panzergruppe or Army of their choice. The game also features a detailed mechanical breakdown and fatigue system, as well as a realistic climatic model that takes into account the effects of severe frostbite and blizzards on men and machines.

In addition, players have to deal with the dark side of war, trading ethics off against operational imperatives and answering to a War Crimes Tribunal if they lose. They also have to stand up to the Führer, either risking being fired by demanding Military Independence or toeing the line by supporting the Führer in whatever goal he is fixated upon.

At the end of each game, players will receive a detailed High Command assessment of their Command Potential, as well as a comprehensive breakdown of all their activity. The game also features a realistic combat engine developed and fine tuned over many years, as well as a comprehensive Historical OOB (order of battle) that covers a wide range of unit types and nationalities.

Overall, Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa offers a deep and immersive game experience with reduced micromanagement, allowing players to make tough, meaningful decisions with difficult trade offs. It also offers a single, hand-crafted campaign that has significant depth and is designed for extensive replayability.
