DC:Case Blue AAR

Keunert · July 25, 2012, 05:27:23 AM

Those interested in the game might want to take a look at the AAR of the Case Blue full campaign. I play against Olivier. We have both been part of the beta test team and are experienced DC1 players. Still this is my first mulitplayer game with Case Blue and my first time as a soviet player. Olivier will do an AAR of his side. We try to play until the end. But with the dismissal rule in action we may hit the end sooner if one of us is failing too hard at satisfying the goals of his army commander.

take a look at the AAR over here:

Wait a minute now...is this an Advanced Tactics scenario or a stand alone game? Looks very familiar to me.

This is a stand alone game done by the same designer as AT. It is very much more historical and detailed than AT. Really, really good game.

^Thanks for the answer. Ok, now I have to go home and visit the Matrix site tonight. I'll have my wallet in hand and will start the "to buy or not to buy" discussion in my head.

Check out the first one as well DC: Warsaw to Paris. Great game that I had the pleasure of alpha and beta testing with Vic.

I think there's a $10 off sale on DC: WtP to celebrate the release of DC:Case Blue.
