Unity of Command 2: Blitzkrieg review - lightning strikes twice

It seems like there have been hundreds of World War 2 wargames released this year. Partisans 1941, Cauldrons of War - Barbarossa, Silent Victory, and Krim: The War in the Crimea 1941-1942 to name but a few that came out in the latter half of 2020, pandemic be damned. And these games, by most accounts, were pretty solid overall, with a few outliers below average.

However, Unity of Command 2 - Blitzkrieg is going to give these games a run for their money, offering one of the most solid wargaming experiences of the year... for the second year in a row.
