Decisive Campaigns Barbarossa presents a never before seen model of Operational Command. Invading Russia isn't purely a dry, numerical, counter shuffling exercise.

It's about being immersed in Decisions that cover everything from arbitrating disagreements over rail scheduling to negotiating a way to minimise the disruption of a propaganda film crew in your headquarters while smiling for the camera and inspiring the home front.

But decisions don't happen in a vacuum. Everyone of them involves People. Superiors and subordinates. There's a war on. People are stressed. Under pressure. Marching to the drums of their own agendas.

As Operational Commander of the entire Eastern Front you need to know when to placate, know when to give ground and know when to come down hard with an iron fist.

Can you twist in the political wind and use the machinations of the internal infighting to your advantage?

Above all can you sway people to your point of view, cut through the multitude of distractions and focus on the only thing that really matters – the conquest of Russia?

Looks great, certainly to be one of my most eagerly awaited games of the year.

Just one question, are these the final leader pictures, because both Goering and Von Rundstedt appear to be prewar.
With Goering I could live, he's more handsome like this, but old Gerd simply looks terrible [:D]

Take my money already.

Does this baby have an editor, too?

Hi Simulacra,

Deciding which picture to use is indeed tricky. Lots of factors come into this and some of them are subjective.

The pic of Von Rundstedt admittedly doesn't show him at his best but he was 66 at the time and under a lot of pressure which is well conveyed by the image.

Cheers,
Cameron
