The tip of the spear for 11th Army is the Romanian 1st Armored Division! |
Against the wishes of some within the German High Command, I made a strategic decision to give the Romanians a seat at the table for the opening of the Barbarossa offensive. We will see what the long term implications are, but in the short term I am relying on them to help the 11th Army drive on Odessa.
I will be blogging periodically about Barbarossa for the next few weeks. I am super excited about this game and I can't wait to see if I can get to Moscow by winter!

Also the decisions although have implications on the outcome of the campaign I have found them to be of little importance. Literally being hated by everyone I managed to do what I wanted with no consequence. And that is disturbing.
Also the game is based on some strange compromises. We command the whole front pushing division chits twice a week. What it suppose to represent? This is no longer limitation of human players and a table. We are digital now.
I hope to see a game where the element of unpredictability will be reflected by AI controlled subordinates with more personalities behind the generals. Unfortunately it is still far from it.
