Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris

I really liked Advanced Tactics I & II.

Is this game any good?  What is the fun factor?

I've looked for reviews, and frankly have found next to none are available.  The designer has a lot of good games under their belt - but you never know.

Anyone who has played this and has suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a few AAR's that should give you an idea how the game plays.

Ultimately, it's more a traditional operational wargame, than Advanced Tactics - which (I think) is more of a "civ-like" experience. If you are sold on historical content, with the ability to take a leading part in seeing the history unfold, then the DC games would be worth looking into. It's UI is a refinement on the AT one. You can see the DC games come from AT, but they are squarely aimed at experiencing history and letting you play with it, like a kitten with a ball of wool.

In a nutshell.

DC is more historically accurate, without the tedious logistics (building units, ferrying supplies and reinforcements) game mechanics of AT.  I like the cards system.
AT is a more generic wargame, but the logistics and army organization is a game on it's own that is not commonly found in any other game (except maybe people's tactics).

Read this AAR - it'll give you a good flavor. It's of one of the biggest scenarios in the game but the short version.

What AAR?  Link?  There was one on Armchair General that stopped mid way through.
