Question about DCWTP vs DCCB

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!

Question about DCWTP vs DCCB

Post by James Ward »

Since Christmas is coming I can probably ask for a game or two from Santa. I like Case Blue and am thinkng about getting Warsaw to Paris.
What are the differances between it and Warsaw to Paris? Are there more scenarios? Smaller scenarios? Better AI?

WtP offers a campaign that includes the invasion of Poland, France and England. There are two smaller scenarios (The Netherlands, Bzura). I think the Case Blue full scenario is a bigger challenge in the sense that you have more to do. More units, more choices. The AI is good as well in WtP. There was a major patch shortly after the release of CB that brought some new features to WtP that are included in CB. I would definitely recommend it if you like the early war setting.

Besides what Korsun already mentioned, I also think that the strategy in WtP is quite different. In WtP the german will continuously be attacking, and its a matter of when they win, and not, if they win. For the allies it is a matter of conducting a orderly retreat and launching very limited counterattacks. Whereas in CB there seems to better possiblities of gaining at least local superiority on the front/corps level, no matter which side have the upper hand overall.
