Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive is the fourth wargame in the Decisive Campaign series. Covering the battles in the Ardennes between December 1944 and January 1945, it brings to life Operational wargaming by lowering the scale to just above tactical level.



Reducing the scale of the battlefield brings to life Operational wargaming by lowering the scale to just above tactical level, where the main unit of manoeuvre is the battalion. DC: Ardennes Offensive is a real classic wargame with an exceptional level of detail.



The game comes with a huge, full campaign scenario lasting over 16 days and several smaller scenarios focusing on several days of combat on specific parts of the front (like St. Vith and Bastogne). You will be able to play the whole Ardennes campaign on a 1km/hex map with battalion-sized Units at your command. Each day is divided into 4 turns, including a night turn.

How soon is soon? Can not wait for this! Loved the previous games you made.

Best of luck on the development

Will there be an option to use NATO symbols instead of the icons on unit counters? I always use NATO symbols in wargames but I must admit that the artwork for DC:A looks very nice. I would probably still choose to use NATO symbols though. Very much looking forward to release!


Disregard! I saw some videos tonight and now see that NATO symbols are an option. I must say again, the map and unit icon art is absolutely fantastic!

You can freely change the icon style during play !

Thanks! I have always been a firm NATO symbol guy since I started board war gamming back in the late 70's and am stuck in my ways but this might be the first computer war game that I actually give the artistic icons a try. They do look awesome!

Really can't understand why this title hasn't received more attention on this forum? Very excited to see this come to fruition! Everything posted here points towards a great game on the horizon. Thank you for all your efforts.

When? Me know how, want to know when!!

Vic said in an interview last month that late second quarter looked very possible.

We certainly do hope so!
Many loose ends to still tie up But we are making progress. Hopefully we'll move to beta soon.

Best wishes,

Great to hear. I still play all the previous titles frequently. Best of luck with the development.

Graphics are looking very nice....and I know gameplay will be right there too.

Very excited to see more on this title! Is there an AAR in the works?

Good luck with development. Hope for a smooth release. Insta-buy!

Me too! This is a deal breaker for me so really pleased they've kept with the option of NATO counters.

Could we get some more images of what is seen along the bottom of the screen when a unit is selected? On the product page the bottom is cut off.
