6th Army question

VR designs has been reinforced with designer Cameron Harris and the result is a revolutionary new operational war game 'Barbarossa' that plays like none other. It blends an advanced counter pushing engine with deep narrative, people management and in-depth semi-randomized decision systems.

6th Army question

Post by sabo10 »

I was wondering why the 6th Army (German) is inaccurately portrayed. 6th Army was one of the more powerful Army's in Barbarossa, I even believe that had Panzer battalions attached to it. In the game the 17th Army is the powerhouse. What did Hitler say about the 6th Army, that they could "Thunder the Heavens"

Hi Sabo,

The game makes no pretence at replicating the finer details of unit specifics. There is also a fair bit of conflicting evidence in a number of these areas and you can get very different viewpoints depending on which source you choose to rely on.

Cheers,
Cameron

Thanks Cameron, for the most part it's pretty accurate (Fuel shortage German, partisan Russian, etc) I also noticed the armies had been trimmed 1.2 Million for the Germans when in reality with allies Germany was at darn near 4 Million, Russia starting with 1.6 Million when it was around 2 million. But I can see how that would turn the game into more work and less fun.

Love the game, is there any other scenario's out there for it?

Hi sabo,

There are a few made with the Community Project (subforum) but no specific scenarios for Barbarossa.

The amount of detail and code behind it make extending it problematic.

Cheers,
Cameron
