Cauldrons of War - Barbarossa

A surprisingly engrossing strategy game, essentially a Real-Time-Tactics title without the 3D view. Manouevre around the Soviets, create massive encirclements, besiege cities, raid supply lines, all while under pressure of the Big H's fantastical ambitions ... Definitely recommended for any WW2 history buff, if you can make do with the passable graphics and UI,

An interesting take on the War in Russia that fails to achieve its potential. You order units to move and attack with command points. These command points run everything including air operations. Each Front or Army Group has a specific number of these points. Playing the Russians is relatively easy. On normal setting in my first game I achieved a minor victory. All I did was retreat until the start of winter. The German side however is more difficult, since tutorial is pretty short on explaining how selecting different attack options play out. There are a couple of guides that help with this on steam. My biggest complaint is you can split armies, but It is impossible to reform them. The developers are under the false notion that this accurately depicts a widening German front. This is very ahistorical, since the Germans often formed new corps and Armies. (Even the 6th Army was reformed.) Considering It costs the same number of command points to operate a division as it does an entire army things get surreal very fast if you split an army or one splits due to combat. Don't get me wrong this is an interesting game if you can get past the one way valve unit breakdown system. A total lack of being able to assign units to armies or corps or even move them from one to another. And of course a Finish army that does almost nothing outside of its pre-1939/40 war borders no matter how well the war goes. I purchased this game for $15 and I got what I paid for, but not a cent more. I have uninstalled the game.

To confusing. Not balanced because its historical so you cant win as Germany or Russia by the time winter comes and timers end.

Игра довольно простенькая но интересная , проходится за 2 вечера , 1й вечер разбираешься в механике , 2й вечер добиваешь соперника , прошел кампанию за СССР на средней сложности , набрал 7 очков . По мне так на 4 из 10 , на разок . Покупал набором и 2 часть , буду пробовать. Для любителей варгеймов порог очень низкий , но развеяться пойдет.

相比战略游戏我更愿意称之为历史游戏，他很好的仿真了巴巴罗萨事件链条中苏德双方面临的不可回避的问题，但是战略性确实一般般，更像互动电影，喜欢历史题材的可以打折期间大包无脑入。 [spoiler]元首无敌的装甲师瞬间融化那里真的有点绷不住了[/spoiler] [spoiler]不要过度依赖容易融化的装甲师，而是把闪电战的速度和补给线维持重视起来有奇效[/spoiler] [spoiler]第一个剧本的论点是没有达成战略目的是贫弱的德国脚男长跑能力不足导致的，马拉松重视[/spoiler] 本地化做的问题很多，完美主义者不要买。文本量其实真的不大，应该尝试找人做本地化。

A very unique and well executed WW2 game!

invaded russia got stalemated hard to learn at first it is actually easy 160/10
