Описание
В Unity of Command II под вашим командованием окажутся войска антигитлеровской коалиции на Западном фронте и в Африке. Управляйте дивизиями Союзников, не забывая про снабжение и логистику. Развеивайте туман войны — нововведение в серии! — захватывая в плен врагов и проводя разведку вражеских позиций. И, конечно, не позволяйте вашим бойцам, отставшим от своих, стать легкой добычей вражеских танков — перегруппировывайтесь и давайте противнику отпор!
Особенности игры
- Динамическая кампания — напишите свою историю Второй мировой с помощью нелинейной кампании. Каждое новое прохождение будет непохоже на все предыдущие.
- Штаб — теперь на карте появился штаб армии, откуда вы будете управлять реорганизацией войск, снабжением и наведением переправ. Штаб не только жизненно важен для пополнения обескровленных частей, но также открывает иные особые возможности: экстренное снабжение, моторизацию пехоты с помощью штабных грузовиков и многое другое.
- Стратегическая поддержка — эта особенность оригинальной игры в Unity of Command II стала еще масштабнее. Сейте хаос в тылу врага, проводя диверсии на объектах инфраструктуры, используйте авиацию для воздушной разведки или бомбардировок и экстренного снабжения войск, отрезанных от основных сил.
- Дополнительные задачи — попробуйте изменить ход истории, успешно справляясь с дополнительными заданиями — например создайте условия для прорыва к Апеннинам и разбейте оборону немцев, не дав им закрепиться.
- Туман войны — невозможно бить врага, не зная, где он! Выявляйте вражеские позиции, захватывая оказавшиеся без поддержки силы противника, улучшая штаб и используя его особые возможности для того, чтобы раскрыть вражеские маркеры обороны.
- Оперативная глубина — Unity of Command навсегда изменила представление о пошаговых стратегиях своей характернейшей механикой — глубиной линий снабжения. Держите руку на пульсе логистики, планируя удары по вражеским тылам, перерезая линии снабжения и окружая вражеские войска.
- Встроенный редактор сценариев — помимо полномасштабной кампании за Союзников, в Unity of Command II есть возможность разыграть несколько судьбоносных сражений Второй мировой на стороне сил «оси». В игре предусмотрен встроенный редактор сценариев, с помощью которого игроки могут создавать новые планы сражений и публиковать их в Мастерской Steam.

First 2 hours I wasn't sure. Gave it another chance with the help of great youtube guides from @SampstraGames.
Allow 4-5hrs to learn the game and I highly rate it. 17hrs now and completed Mediterranean Campaign (Great Scenario challenges).
History/Maps/Battle 5 star
Battle Mechanics/Logistics/Gameplay 5 star
InGame tutorial 2 Star, Use @SampstraGames Vids
Interface 3 Star - you get used to it
Graphics/Sound 3 Star but doesn't detract from the game.
Highly recommend, especially if you get it on special.
Well polished introduction to operational level wargaming. Sometimes tight requiring a specific approach with the turn limit.
The rules are unique (compared to what I've seen) making it hard to get an idea how to play at first. But it's actually pretty understandable once you figure it out. (watch some videos on how steps work and stuff)
A Panzer General throwback with modern presentation and the welcome addition of supply / logistics to factor in. It's not a genre defining title by any stretch of the imagination, but perfectly playable to satisfy an itch. The gameplay is your standard hex-based approach with a mix of infantry, mechanised and armoured units with support units ranging from artillery, anti-tank, commandos and others that can be added. Units gain experience as they progress from mission to mission, as do command units, which unlock new abilities such as bridge building, river crossings.
It can sometimes feel like more of a problem solving exercise that a wargame though, and this is one of the more frustrating elements of UoC2. A single infantry unit can absorb repeated artillery barrages and air attacks, infantry set piece attacks and probing, tying up your units for a full turn. By contrast, it feels like if you make a breakthrough the AI will throw a myriad of units at you and overrun and destroy your unit.
This in turn leads to my biggest gripe with the game. The experience gained by your units is lost (understandably) when a unit is destroyed. That unit might be reconstituted for your next mission, but starts at the lowest experience level, again, understandably. However if you grind down and destroy an elite AI unit it will be reconstituted and deployed on the next mission with its previous experience, providing a major advantage.
I've enjoyed UoC2 and dip in and out of it. It's often more frustrating than enjoyable though, and I'd not buy it outside of a sale or pick up the DLC at full price either. If like me you have that Panzer General itch now and again and you see if it for £5 / $5, it's well worth a go!
Love the setting and the turn based "action". A little minus for if you do something not quite right in previous missions you might end up being stuck in a future mission and not progressing, the only thing this games is missing is a way to "fail forward" i.e. if I fail a mission I have to defend a previous or take a different route.
Well, it certainly has many tactical structures, but I don't know, compared to great classics like panzer general, asdl tabletop or others, I don't know, it didn't have a positive impact on me. The initial campaigns are also too limited for me. It's not an absolute judgment, but really a personal impact. Maybe others will like it, but it just didn't capture me.
Definitely different than any other turn based military strategy top-down hex WW2 game that *I've* played, maybe there are other war games that have a heavy focus on keeping your forces supplied. There are times where you start a battle with low supplies, just like in real life! Your guys can't fight or move without it. The game balance is a little too hard on "classic". If you don't play fairly meticulously from the very first battle, you are going to have to start over if you want to beat the later levels which is kind of annoying. I also think it is a little buggy because you the odds are displayed before you attempt to attack a target, but sometimes you just get destroyed. And there just isn't enough Prestige to get your HQ's strong enough to at least do one artillery attack, and even if you do spend it all to do that, then you can't upgrade any of your units. I beat the base game on my second try, but of course the DLC's tend to get sloppy with game balance. The tutorial also seems to be really light on the things that really matter, so it is a lot of trial and error before you figure out how to do things, like buying specialty units, laying down your supply lines, how supply works, how to keep your guys supplied, how to disrupt the enemy supply lines, what the supply cards do, how to use certain extra abilities, moving your HQ, and so on. Hopefully the DLCs are worth playing and not overly difficult because I will give them a try. Although much of these DLCs seem to have you playing the side of the losing country, so your units are weak and they die a bunch, but they can't die because you need to keep them alive to gain experience. That is another thing that you learn the hard way.
Panzer General at its best.
In this age of over-hyped releases and broken promises, the Unity of Command series stands out a mile. And United of Command II was a sequel that improved in every way on its already great predecessor. The graphics and interface are simple, but effective. The AI opponent is relentless and realistic. You don't need to learn how to win the game, but rather how to win a battle. To win you must maintain supply lines and outflank your enemy. Gameplay balance seems effortless here. Further, no two campaigns or battles play out the same, giving the game high replay value. This is the WWII strategy game I return to the most. Games like this deserve to be celebrated. Highly recommended!
More complicated than Panzer General, Panzer Corps, Hex of Steel or Order of Battle, Unity of Command reminds me of older strategic/operational hex-based tabletop war games where you had to spend points to activate your units, and you only had sufficient points to activate some of your units. Fun, but frustrating at times, mainly because the rule set is not one I have internalized. If you are bored with the games mentioned above, give this a try.
This isn't a strategy game...it's a puzzle game dressed up in a WW2 skin. If you like puzzle games you might enjoy it...if you like RTS or strategy games you probably won't.
Less of a wargame and more of a puzzle with a focus on logistics.
Not a fan. It has nice graphics and some good ideas, like draw cards, however it is overly complicated. There are a lot of positive reviews for this game so I thought I should share my thoughts to add balance. To have a good understanding of this game would require a deep dive into the manual and at least a 100 hrs plus of mucking around trying things. I didn't have the time and wasn't interested enough to invest the time. The save game system is pretty average too. Glad I bought it on sale.
good game, but the AI is only good at playing filthy tricks, in many times it pissed me off. there's always a unit coming from nowhere cutting off my logistic line and ruins my whole offensive plan.
So be careful when you play a new map in the first time, be alert to enemy units hiding in unexplored grids
If you are a fan of old school war games (Avalon Hill, SSI, etc.) then you will enjoy this. Mostly division and brigade size units. Huge variety of historical scenarios. Really well modeled command & control, supply, air support, etc. Decent AI.
UOC2 Error on Mac
Good iteration on the original. I think the performance has increased a bit, the cpu takes it turns very fast. I haven't gotten super far in the campaign, and I'm still wrapping my head around the damage calculations in battle, but this is just as much fun as the original.
puzzle game with random, gamey mechanics
turn limits are obnoxious and arbitrary
Unity of Command II is a wargame that requires some effort to play well. The sequencing of your movement and attacks along with the husbanding of limited resources is a an acquired skill. Another important concept is keeping your opponent down as the forces and starting locations in the next scenario of the campaign are the result of your previous success. Keeping the pressure on the enemy opens opportunities to gain more resources on which to build on going forward. The game is worth it and on sale - even better! The campaign DLC's are a good value at retail and on sale, frankly a steal. As to the DLC, the more recent ones seem like they've gotten better than the earlier ones (which are good too). If you are willing to invest some time and effort - read the manual, do the introductory campaign and even watch tutorial videos, I feel those efforts will be well paid off with nearly countless hours of game play.
best wargame out there
it's great
AI is ridiculously smart, will take advantage of ANY mistakes. I think that is kind of a good thing as I am mostly a solo player so it provides a good challenge. Im also sure that AI is unaffected by difficulty
I really love this game and its focus on logistics, I mean that is how war is won.
I think a good area of ww2 to focus on would be the pasific front, especially the sino-chinese wars, as they would provide very good logistical challenges, and this area of war is often ignored in media
FUN GAME
It's a bit complex, but worth the learning curve. It would be a great system to adapt to Warhammer 40,000, especially if there's an RPG element (army building).
Really fun, major upgrade from the first game... 100% would recommend.
Great game.
While this is still the classic hex-based wargame, it's moved to a more strategic level, where you command army groups, and an individual unit is a division, sometimes a brigade, as opposed to battallion or regiment level games.
But there's a twist: HQ effective command range and... LOGISTICS. Supply is very important, as in real life, and you need to manage it very carefully.
All in all, I've enjoyed it very much.
I cannot believe that I've never heard of "Unity of Command" before! It's such a beautifully made table-top feel war game! I'm still getting the hand of it after a few hours, but I really find the gameplay satisfying and the focus on logistics and supply is excellent. Bought a few expansions as well, so looking forward to the variety of gameplay and historic setting!
There's a lot I don't like but the save game method alone is bad enough to give a bad review.
Having played the game almost two hundred hours, I will say that I like it. The step system, adding supporting units to your units and the logistical system is amazing. Where the game lacks is the RNG, and scenario balance. The time tables to accomplish any sort of objective is HEAVILY dependent on RNG but also one solving the exact 'puzzle' the developers intend. It takes the strategy away and the game just becomes a figure out the exact path the developer says I should take and then HOPE the RNG of an attack doesn't screw me. So many times, I've made it to an objective, go to attack the city instantly becomes ruins. Good luck taking out a city with ruins.
Well it was a fun game the only problem being it has only three scenarios and the rest you have to probably buy
Great turn based game, both relaxing & frustrating, often needing that "1 more hex" to clinch scenario objectives, but I also know where I went wrong before that, so that's on me.
Plan moving Command posts carefully, because I screwed up not moving them forward soon enough... sometimes it weakens the CP, and you lose that critical "build a bridge" option just when you need it most (see "1 more hex" above). But I will play through the entire game again, knowing how important some of the seemingly unimportant nuances are! Highly recommended game.
I really enjoyed this game.
For me the game just looks good, music and sound effects are great (though more songs would be great, but what is there is quality stuff), I like the era, historic feeling of the game and scenarios, feeling of the game, decision space is interesting (though for me there's a bit more micromanagement involved than I'd like), scenarios are interesting and I just get the right kind of feeling commanding units to victory in the west. There's lot of detail and depth to be enjoyed.
A lot of the game hinges on scenario design. I think all scenarios were good, but a few stood out as most interesting and challenging. A couple were really tough. Towards the end of the campaign a lot of scenarios had this emptiness to them. Surely historical, but was hard to for me to play those. Game punishes for mistakes, but in some scenarios you need to push forwards aggressively. I think overall scenarios and the whole campaign with the HQ upgrade system expects you to know what's ahead a bit more than what is realistic to expect from a player of this game. It's really hard to do really well, without knowing the little things that come. That was my experience at least. I do feel that repeat play makes the game easier: I've learned mechanics better, I know better what to expect from the enemy in each scenario, I've understood the map and the objectives and how to reach them better. That's something the real commanders didn't have, there was no restart scenario button. On the other hand they hand tens of people planning each operation, I'm alone playing late in the evening after kids have gone to bed. Or perhaps strategy just isn't where I shine.
Is this game for you?
There are things to consider:
- The game is not easy (I played on Normal difficulty and it presented a fair challenge).
- It's simple to play, but making good decisions requires thinking.
- You need to have a strategy to be able to do well. Tactical exploitation of local situation isn't enough to be good at this game. This means thinking about how you will execute the scenario to reach objectives.
- You have to understand the game mechanics and rules to be able to be as effective as you can. Manual is 73 pages, be prepared to read though it at least once. "How to" and "tips and strategies" articles and videos also help you to understand how to play effectively.
- I've enjoyed this game one scenario at a time, like sipping a good wine. No need to rush through the game content.
- I think I will enjoy playing the campaign again, just because I think I can do better having learned how to play better plus there are those "what if" scenarios in the campaign when you do better than what really happened. So replayability is there!
- The scenarios put you on a clock, and thus you need a plan and need to keep executing it. I think I was a bit too cautious and that hurt me, but the game punishes for reckless mistakes, so there's a balance to be struck.
- Some say the game is a puzzle. Perhaps that's more true on the Classic difficulty (as said, I played on Normal), but to me the game presenting you with a challenge and making you think, and needing to do things in an intelligent manner doesn't make it a puzzle. I'm not sure how many ways there are to win the scenarios, but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of different approaches. However, there's logistics (supply) and the objectives (city and turn limit) which might push you towards one strategy on a high level. Perhaps that, for some, limits their freedom and makes the game feel like a puzzle. That said, I haven't explored the scenarios enough to say how many strategies or approaches there are in each scenario. Point is, scenarios inevitably have approaches that work better, and that doesn't make the game a puzzle to me. Not in a bad way at least.
[*]Not sure if I want to try Classic difficulty. Let's see if I become a really good player, maybe then :D I would imagine I'd need to pay attention too much to details (unit composition/upgrades/specialists) than I'd like to, to be able to do well in Classic mode.
I would think this is for you if you like to think about strategy and tactics, have patience to play slow, at least tolerate some micromanagement of unit stats with 20-30 units on map in some scenarios, enjoy WWII turn-based strategy and tactics and generally like boardgames.
Only 7,4 % of players have finished the base game campaign. To me that signals that, in the end, the game wasn't what a lot of people expected. That's ok. To me it was what I expected: a digital-only boardgame of an operational level WWII campaign through Western Europe. With many other campaigns as DLC available. A quality product, recommended!
