. And Decisive Campaigns 3 isn't far behind.


Slash, where did you hear this?  I haven't seen any indication that DC3 is releasing anytime soon.  Great news if so, but I was figuring later in 2015.

I haven't seen anything official but the latest post here about the features and changes has me thinking/hoping their near finished with it. I expect a real tsunami of games out for the holiday season. I'm torn between the 3 strategy choices. WITW looks good but only begins in 1943, so probably strictly an Allied offensive game. WWII Has every battle/campaign in Europe 1939-45 but looks a little dated to me. DC Has the pedigree but goes no lower than division scale and may not be out until like you said sometime 2015. Tough choices. Maybe take all 3.

Hope you're right, although I have the feeling DC3 still has a ways to go before release.

I'm not thrilled, like you, that DC3 doesn't go below division level -- one of the things I love about the DC2 games is that it's modeled on the regimental level, which gives your divisions a nice bit of tactical flexibility.  Still, on the strength of DC2 alone, I will buy DC3 first day, without question.

WITW is a pass for me --WITE remains one of the bigger disappointments in recent memory.  DC2 Case Blue is a superior game in just about every respect.

I'm intrigued by WWII but I'm usually unable to get past the 1990s gfx of the Tiller-esque grog games...
