What purpose does the air war serve?

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!

What purpose does the air war serve?

Post by Wargamer40 »

Don't get me wrong. I find the game most enjoyable but wonder how the air game is used/needed. Playing as the German I have yet to do much with my air units. I have used them a few times for supply drops and recon, but my bombers get no action and am unsure if my fighters do anything. The few times I attempted unit bombing missions my bomber and their escort squadrons would do one of two things: 1. No real damage occurs or 2. The ENTIRE russian airforce intercepts them. Again love the game but wonder if the air war either needs to be improved or removed.

DC Barbarossa is my next purchase. Is the air war a factor in that game?

The air war is handled very differently in Barbarossa.

It's much more abstract so as not to detract from the game's main focus.
