Reading this convinced me to buy the game during the Matrix Christmas sale.

Good review, which does justice to the enjoyment and challenges in the game.

I need to get back to the AARs running with the game, but suffered a major crash with 'Windows 10'. I didn't lose any of the CotD material, but had to put the rest of the system back together. Also had some family medical problems, but hope to get back to the action soon.

Been there, done that; had to completely reinstall Windows 10 and my programs a couple months ago. [:@][:@][:@]

Looking forward to more AARs, but really looking forward to hearing from Frank about the next game!

Same here, hoping that the 'Elbe Campaign' might be coming, as it was reported to be ready after 'Piercing Fortress Europa' was released, hope that this is true. [:)]

I particularly like this comment from the review :

When I grumbled about the lack of formation movement and delegation options in Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa, what I was picturing was an approach very like CotD’s. Here there’s no need to laboriously manoeuvre every counter every turn. Because you’re a military commander not a chess player, a few clicks in a bigwig’s order menu suffice.

'Decisive Campaigns' is one of the better offerings, but it would be great to have a corps level WW2 Eastern Front, full campaign, in a similar WEGO game system to CotD. Realistic decision making, without having to shovel numerous counters around, working as a proper command system and should be playable in one lifetime.

Up to now I have been getting my Grand Strategy Campaign fix from Frank's 'Guns of August', old and clunky, but a real brain teaser, lots of planning, than even more planning and WEGO surprises.[:)]

I'm really enjoying Campaigns On The Danube. It's a palate cleanser between spending time on the Western and Eastern fronts in WITW, WITE and DC:B.

I really wish Decisive Campaigns Barbarossa had the ability to designate army groups to subordinates (i.e. the AI). I'm supposed to be the commander of OKH yet I am moving individual divisions around.
