Evaluation

Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris launched on January 22, 2015. The most recent developer activity on record is a version 1.60 patch released on March 20, 2017, which added new features including a new AI variant for the Poland 1939 scenario, UI improvements, and various engine fixes. There have been no developer communications of any kind since that date — nearly nine years of silence as of June 2026. No DLC was ever listed for the game, no roadmap or future content was ever announced, and no follow-up patches or posts have appeared. The store description frames the game as a complete simulation of Germany's 1939–1940 campaigns, with no language suggesting ongoing or planned additions. The game launched as a finished product and appears to have reached its final state with the 1.60 update in March 2017.

About this game

From Warsaw to Paris… and then on to London!

The development team behind the award-winning game Advanced Tactics: World War II is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive early days of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris is the first in an innovative series of operational World War II wargames that also include a strategic element.  The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris simulates Germany’s military successes in Poland and France in 1939 and 1940 (including also a hypothetical “Sea Lion” invasion of Great Britain if you do well enough).

Well researched and packed with depth, including detailed unit data down to the squad and vehicle level and historically realistic combined arms gameplay, The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris also features an easy-to-learn interface and a ferocious AI.  Before each campaign, players choose actions and options at a strategic level which can have far-reaching effects on how the actual battle unfolds, with many plausible hypothetical outcomes. 

Once in the battle, players move regiments and divisions, coordinate attacks and manage logistics in what we feel is the definitive game on the campaigns of the early Blitzkrieg.  There are also unique actions for individual historical generals to give a particular objective or front the extra needed push to victory.  Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris also includes a unique multiplayer feature where players can split up Axis or Allied armies between several people to add an added level of realism and cooperation!
