Is It For Me?

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!

just thinking about it, does that need the actual purchase?
[:D]Absolutely yes. Cause you cant imagine playing it if you dont own it. That crucial hurdle can only be overcome with a purchase.

It's doing just great. Spent about 45 minutes skimming over it and initial impressions are very good. Love the counters; UI is very intuitive; map certainly functional, good feel and ambiance; prefer the font and various tabs to WitE etc.. So far I like it a lot and I honestly think that this may well be the one that didn't get away. I'm going over the manual now and am excited by the prospects.

I'd love to see a couple more zoom levels, 1 closer to display the multi unit view better and 1 in between the other views, but all is good so far. That and a true zoom to cursor action.

Tell me more of this JSME thingy. Is it some kind of mod helper?

TIA

the first post in this link has the link to explain installation of JSME, last post is the download link provided by junk2drive since the JSME site isnt working. Installing and switching mods in and out are breeze with this program. I use it on 6 of my games.
