About Operation Barbarossa

Conflicts: Operation Barbarossa is a highly rated turn based strategy game set on the Eastern Front during the Second World War.


You are in command of the German WWII armed forces - tanks, infantry and air force units - and the object of the game is to conquer the Soviet Union as quickly as possible. To have a chance to seize the top spot in the Hall of Fame you need to skillfully encircle scores of Red Army infantry units with your panzers, while battling both the feared T-34 tank units and the notorious Russian weather.


FEATURES:

+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup.

+ Long-lasting: Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.

+ Competitive: Measure your strategy game skills against others fighting for the Hall of Fame top spots.

+ Supports casual play: Easy to pick up, leave off, continue later.

+ Challenging: Crush your enemy quickly and earn the bragging rights on the forum.

+ Reinforcements and replacement units, plus new unit types - like Tiger I tanks - if the war lasts several years.

+ Experienced units learn new skills, like improved attack or defense performance, extra move points, damage resistance, ability to cross rivers without losing move points, etc.

+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of houses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.

+ A large range of WWII units under your command: tanks, infantry, motorized infantry, weak Axis infantry, Waffen SS troops, the German air force and espionage units. Meanwhile, the Red Army starts with weaker infantry, cavalry and tank units, but as the weeks pass, is reinforced with stronger Siberian and T-34 tank units.

+ Weather modelling: Spring/autumn mud slows movement, while winter reduces line-of-sight and freezing cold hampers units, especially mechanized ones.

+ Good AI: Instead of just attacking on direct line towards the target, the AI balances between strategic goals and smaller tasks like encircling nearby units.

+ Tablet friendly strategy game: Automatically scales the map for any physical screen size/resolution from small smartphones to HD tablets, while settings allow you to fine tune hexagon and font sizes.

+ Inexpensive: The entire WWII eastern front for the price of a coffee!


In order to be a victorious general, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.


If you want to test this WWII game, a free 15-turn-version is available.

Conflict-Series has offered highly rated Android-only strategy games since 2011. The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming elements TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I also want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any indie developer could dream of. if you have feedback about the Conflict-Series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth conversion without all the limits of the store's comment system. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not very sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if somebody has posted a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will answer to it as soon as I'm online. Thanks for understanding!

Great game, developer has been tweaking and fine tuning for years and it shows. Each game is a little different and variability (luck) plays a role with weather effects, terrain and fog or war all impacting play. It forces you to become a more balanced strategist, also has a fine tactical feel with some nuance to master. I also really appreciate that the only ads are from Joni, I have purchased a bunch of his other games (definitely worth checking out the catalogue). And the quotes are great!

A fun, smaller strategy that takes time, is challenging, and manages to be fun all at the same time

E70%
by E####:

As in all games from this designer, nice straightforward UI and competent AI. Highly addictive and challenging, although it does take a few game plays to get a sense of when attacks are likely to succeed. The developer puts a lot of effort into it and is responsive to online discussion. Definitely recommended.

Joni replied that there are many reasons for the lack of an "undo" function, chief one being cheaters using it to get ahead in the Hall of Fame (HoF). He claimed this has happened in earlier games. The additional memory could also crash older versions of Android. To avoid careless fingers, he suggested changing to a bigger hex size, and set "Misclick prevention" to "Very aggressive". The game will supposedly ignore any touch between 2 hexes in this setting. However, after playing for a month, I found there

A great challenge to beat. Well balanced and complex with an engine that feels very realistic while staying intuitive. It never gets old playing this.

J70%
by J####:

Uses same basic system as Eastern Front, but at a higher level, quicker play smaller grid and less resource mgmt to deal with. As in all games from this designer, nice straightforward UI and competent AI. No ZOCs as in old Avalon Hill games. Biggest frustration is that combat results calc is a black box. You seem to get a big bonus the first 5 turns or so and then attacks that used to work will often fail with no real explanation of your battle odds, making strategic calculations very difficult, and you can't afford mistakes so this is a major difficulty. Eastern Front has same issue, but the resource mgmt in Eastern Front makes it a more interesting game overall.

I have a few Nuutinen wargames, and I have to say that they are possibly the best out there. Very detailed, and very tactical. Smooth gameplay, no crashes for me so far. Good marker and map graphics. I highly recommend this developer to anyone who enjoys a good hex wargame. I have a recommendation for the developer: Napoleonic wars. Thanks Herr Nuutinen, keep up the good work!

Excellent turn based strategy wargame. Units gain experience and learn new skills from combat. Has all the classic components: supply, air power, mobility, encirclements, and weather. Variable setup and a good AI makes for a lot of replay.

T70%
by T####:

The more you play, the cooler it gets. They say necessity is the mother of invention. The need for a simpler hex strategy design for android has resulted in the Conflicts Series. The beauty of these titles is they are all about maneuvering, supply and terrain, without the need to keep track of a lot of stats. Plus, these are your games once you buy them, with minimal to no permissions and no internet required to play.
