I would not recommend Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa at all...the game itself is OK but it includes a "role-playing" feature that seeks to replicate the effect of interpersonal interactions among various commanders. Many people seem to love it, but I found it extremely annoying and superficial. I think you can also play the game without this "feature", but if you do that there is no real reason to get the game at all, there are any number of other games you could look at. WitE2 is actually very complex, although you can get started just by pushing counters around and ignore or automate features such as air, logistics, commanders, etc. WitE2 might be good if you are willing to spend quite a bit of time learning the ropes. I've been playing wargames for many many years and still am having a hard time figuring out some parts of WitE2, even after reading the manual, etc., although I haven't watched any videos. I would not recommend WitP:AE for someone in your shoes unless you are very very interested in the Pacific Theater, and only the Pacific Theater. I don't have Unity of Command but people seem to like it. Same with the Order of Battle series, although I'm not sure how much more complicated it is than Battle Academy or Panzer Corps. Warplan could also be a good option; I don't have it but most people seem to like it, and it doesn't seem overly complicated.
