O.K. So I like this game

The development team behind the award-winning games Decisive Campaigns: From Warsaw To Paris and Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive year and theater of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue simulates the German drive to Stalingrad and into the Caucasus of the summer of 1942, as well as its May preludes (2nd Kharkov offensive, Operation Trappenjagd) and also the Soviet winter counter-offensive (Operation Uranus) that ended with the encirclement of 6th Army in Stalingrad and the destruction of the axis minor armies. With many improvements including the PBEM++ system, this is a release to watch for wargamers!

O.K. So I like this game

Post by Missouri_Rebel »

Great game that I was unsure whether I would actually take the time to learn how to play. Now I am curious about Warsaw to Paris. I see that it was updated lately to incorporate many aspects of Case Blue. What I am wondering is if it is now identical to CB and if not, what are the main differences?

Thanks in advance.

The main difference is that generals work differently. In Warsaw to Paris, generals get hand card base on a random percentage. In DCCB, generals need command point to play card. The card that generals can get is different also.

So the interface and functions are the same? I think I will take a better look. I should have purchased it when they ran the sale. Maybe I'll wait for the Christmas sale and see if it is offered then.
Any other differences?


Thanks

DC1 has a simpler mechanic. There are no replacements and a lot less reinforcements. cards are more of the strategic kind, no minor allies, no okw orders...
but the strategic cards are great and the french campaign has it's own rule set with dyle points that force you to stick with the historical plan. and there is a slight campaign feeling: the performance of one scenario gives you some advantages or disadvantages in the next game.
