Reviews and Awards for Case Blue

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!

I sometimes don t like this guys reviews. If he is giving this game the same mark as WiTE then he is way off base. Much like everyone else with WiTE he reviewed it at a very cosmetic level and before all the issues came to light. I think sometimes he leaps to judgement just to get a review ut quickly.

I mean he says - large scale means "tedious" unit management. Thats not an issue with the game - its a feature of the genre. Most of us who play these games actually dont see it as "tedious" at all. In fact "unit management" is what the games is essentially all about.

A great 88% and the silver award from GamersHall.de

GamersHall Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue Review

Google translation:

Conclusion:

"Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue" comes up with a lot of new features and improvements that enhance the gaming experience compared to the acclaimed predecessor again considerably.
We are dealing here with a winner, no doubt!
Distinctive profile the game receives mainly due to the innovative, yet not seen, high command system commands, which contributes greatly to the immersion, and in conjunction with the action cards can pay almost RPG feelings.
An object of criticism, however, is still awkward in some respects control.

Finish review from dome.fi:
http://dome.fi/pelit/arvostelut/decisiv ... -case-blue

google translate: "Overall, the Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue is a big step forward for Advanced Tactics: Gold from. Carried out in a more rational division of troops and supplies, the effects of individual commanders, simplified navigation and more cunning artificial intelligence make it a truly hefty package. I recommend a game to anyone who has not yet fed up a World War II strategy games."
