I replayed Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa recently and in light of recent scholarship about the Eastern Front it... doesn't hold up well.

Shame since it's such an innovative war game.


Wonder if we'll ever see an Eastern Front game where the Soviets are counterattacking like mad from 1941 onwards.

...how so? I dont recall anything particularly egregious about it

What are the best books about El Alamein and/or the North African campaigns? Thanks

I enjoyed Alan Moorehead's 'Desert War'. He was a correspondent with the British so you get interesting first hand insight into the psychological exhaustion of the perpetual back and forth, the atmosphere of Cairo behind the lines, wrangling with the censors, his wife and child, etc.

E; i guess there's probably a lot of books titled 'Desert War" lol
