Excellent World War 2 wargame on the operational level. You command an entire army worth of troops on the onset of WW2. There is a campaign which will link the three main scenarios: Case White (Poland '39), Case Yellow (France '40) and Operation Sealion (England '40). For me this game hits a sweet spot in terms of complexity, scope and depth. You are not mindlessly pushing counters, nor are you completely getting lost in the minutiae of running your command. Your basic counter is generally a regiment, which fits the scope of the game really well. The Order Of Battle is complex enough ranging from your run-of-the-mill infantry regiments up to some very specific named units and even armoured train units. If you have played any of the Decisive Campaign games you will feel right at home because most of the of the UI and keybinds are similar if not the same. If you have not played any of them and you are a wargamer just give one of them a try as they are not nearly as difficult to get in...

About This Game
From Warsaw to Paris… and then on to London!
The development team behind the award-winning game Advanced Tactics: World War II is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive early days of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris is the first in an innovative series of operational World War II wargames that also include a strategic element. The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris simulates Germany’s military successes in Poland and France in 1939 and 1940 (including also a hypothetical “Sea Lion” invasion of Great Britain if you do well enough).
Well researched and packed with depth, including detailed unit data down to the squad and vehicle level and historically realistic combined arms gameplay, The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris also features an easy-to-learn interface and a ferocious AI. Before each campaign, players choose actions and options at a strategic level which can have far-reaching effects on how the actual battle unfolds, with many plausible hypothetical outcomes.
Once in the battle, players move regiments and divisions, coordinate attacks and manage logistics in what we feel is the definitive game on the campaigns of the early Blitzkrieg. There are also unique actions for individual historical generals to give a particular objective or front the extra needed push to victory. Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris also includes a unique multiplayer feature where players can split up Axis or Allied armies between several people to add an added level of realism and cooperation!
