For those wondering what those Decisive Campaign games are all about The Wargamer has a review out for Decisive Campaign: Case Blue.

Although most grognards will know much of this already, I will provide some background information to the historical setting of this game. After the failed assault on Moscow during the late fall of 1941 and the massive Soviet counteroffensive on the central part of the front, the German commanders realized that they were not strong enough to launch major offensives on all three sectors of the front as they did in 1941. “What would be the best approach to win the war?” they thought. Occupy the Soviet capital of Moscow or head for the resource rich south with the oil of the Caucasus, blocking the river traffic on the Volga passing the city of Stalingrad? As most of us know, Hitler chose to go for the resources in the south. The game covers the initial German drive into eastern Ukraine and beyond, and the following Soviet counteroffensives that may have decided the outcome of the entire war.
