Unity of Command 2 review - the ultimate successor

2019 may be remembered in the short term as the 'Year of the Wargame'. We've seen several high quality titles come out this year; Steel Division 2, Field of Glory: Empires, and Rule the Waves 2 to name some of the standouts of the past 12 months. It has been a good year to be into wargaming, and Unity of Command 2 has been waiting to make a dramatic entrance here at the end of it.

And boy, what an entrance it is. Unity of Command 2 has managed to enthrall me as few other recent wargames have; this is one you don't want to miss.

Unity of Command 2 (for brevity, UoC2) follows the Allied armies in the Western theatre from 1943 to 1945, featuring the player as a sort of 'supreme commander' of American, Free French, British, and various Dominion forces. The campaign is broken up into a series of Panzer General-style IGOUGO operational engagements (which I'll talk more about in a moment), each focused around a specific battle of the campaign, such as Sicily or Rome.
