Germany at War: Barbarossa 1941 Announced!

[Philkian]

Matrix Games and Phobetor are pleased to announce the upcoming release of Germany at War: Barbarossa 1941, a new introductory turn-based operational wargame.

This new title features gameplay in the style of Panzer General and Panzer Corps, with a branching, event-filled campaign that takes you from the start of Operation Barbarossa towards the historical goals of Archangel or Astrakhan. Follow each Army Group through its initial battles, build up a core force, then decide which front will have the main focus, North, Center or South. Your decisions and outcomes determine the course of the campaign, which is designed with replayability in mind.

Germany at War: Barbarossa 1941 is more historically focused than similar games, with an emphasis on historical units and attachments and consistent modeling of unit and hex scale, but is still a fun and easy to learn wargame.
With 4 Campaigns, including 37 scenarios in the main campaign, 14 stand-alone scenarios and an editor with which to add new mission, multiplayer PBEM++ support and good graphics, this game is an exciting new milestone for gamers who enjoy Panzer Corps and similar games.

Looks and sounds very similar to: http://matrixgames.com/products/374/det ... for.Russia are they in any way connected?

Yes, but very distantly. That game was done by a different team, but one developer from the original game did also work on this one. This new release is also much better in all respects, but especially in terms of gameplay and the campaign. It's much more similar to a more realistic Panzer Corps than to the old Operation Barbarossa.

Well, that wasn't such a bad game, so good news, I just hope the AI is better. I have one question about this:

Unit Scale: Division, Battalion, Regiment, Brigade

So which one is it?
