Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive - Tactical Videos

Post by Mantuvec »

Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive, the fourth wargame in the Decisive Campaigns series, will be released on November 18th

While we perfect the last details of the game, we want to share with you a couple of technical videos which we hope will help you have the best gaming experience with Decisive Campaigns’ latest DLC

Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive is a real, classic hex-and-counter wargame at its core, where the main unit of maneuver is the battalion. The Ardennes setting and the scale both have huge implications when it comes to rules, so make sure to check out this first video to know more about it.

Probably the wrong genre for rivet counting box art.

Very astute, but the StUG types were not tanks. No turret you see :)

There were at least two types of gun mantlets. The boxy one that was produced in the early and late production phases of the Stug III Aus G and the more rounded version known as the saukopf (sow's head). The box art is showing that version, more or less.

Box art looks like a combination of the two.

Hopefully this is more accurate than the Barbarossa game. Very disappointing.

My art skills end with stick figures. [;)] The box art seems good enough to me but we wargamers are a pedantic lot, so discussing the gun mantlets on a Stug seems like a fun psst-time while we wait for the 18th. [8D]
