The Decisive Campaigns series has been around for a while, but it’s been a long time since its last release in 2016. Luckily for fans, the wait is almost over, with the fourth instalment, Ardennes Offensive, on the way to Steam soon.
Why the wait? Well, developers VR Designs had been working on a game you might be more familiar with, the post-apocalyptic Shadow Empire, a title that speaks well of their talents.
The Decisive Campaigns aren’t as broad as Shadow Empire, reducing the scale of battle to somewhere between tactics and strategy. This means we’ll be seeing campaigns play out across a single theatre of war in more intricate detail.
Ardennes Offensive includes one major campaign lasting over 16 days and several more focused battles playing out over a shorter period. With multiple turns per day and even nights to consider when making decisions, there are going to be some serious tactical challenges to consider.
The Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive has been available on the Matrix Games store since November 2021, but releases on Steam February 10, 2022, and is bursting with improvements to the original trilogy including attack intensities and a new accessible easy-to-use editor.
