Unity of Command II - Steam Link and Q3 2019 release

I wonder how far along the pipeline the East front is...

Read a couple steam reviews saying the manual/documentation is crap. Can anyone confirm?

I'm wrestling between picking this up or SD II.

I've been checking out some of UoC II gameplay on TheHistoricalGamer's Twitch channel. Good stuff.

With this and War Plan I think Xmas has come early.

It's not every year the holiday loin moistening starts BEFORE Thanksgiving.

personally seems like the people in the forum are overreacting to the manual, but to each their own.  how many games nowadays truly have a great manual or any at all?  i am sure some are good, but the way people are judging this game solely on that seems a little much, especially if the game itself is decent.  how complex is the game anyway, don't typically people describe this game series as somewhat easy to play but hard to master?

but of course people free to make their own buying decisions including based on the quality of the manual, especially if good game under the covers.

I was on the beta for this, and can absolutely recommend it.  If you liked the first you'll find its a huge step forward and worthy sequel.

With regards to the manual/tutorial, just give them a little time - the game is complete and they are working hard on finishing documentation asap (its been mentioned in the beta forums).

That's a fair review. I've spent 4 hours on the game so far. Started the first main campaign mission and Overlord. I wasn't expecting the AI to be so active or challenging.

I played the beta too, really enjoyed it but I have a lot to learn

[Gusington]

The AI in the original was no slouch and immediately jumped all over me once I made a stupid move.

  There seem to be some lose ends in the information, but I'm used to that and basically the game is very good and fun.

Thanks for the comments folks. Being on a limited budget and the fact that I just found out that you can sim battles in SD2, I'm going that route for now, but for sure will pick this up early next year.

I would say SD2 is the better choice, having both strategy and tactical in one package is a winner.

Supply planning has tripped me up a few times and the AI has caused me to swear out loud. Good to see games of this depth.

What is SD2?
