Slitherine announces the release of Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa, a new Windows strategy game set on the brutal eastern front of World War II. This trailer offers a look at the game, and there are further details on its product section, which is where it can be picked up. Here's the pitch:

VR Designs has been reinforced with designer Cameron Harris and the result is Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa. A revolutionary eastern front wargame on the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. It blends the latest evolution of the Decisive Campaigns hex and counter engine with deep narrative, people management and in-depth semi-randomized decision systems.

War isn't fought by slide rules. Decisive Campaigns Barbarossa brings the people aspect of military conflict into sharp focus. Operational Command isn't a dry, mathematical exercise but a gritty, gnarly, fight to get your point of view across in the face of opposition and competing agendas.
