^Thanks Al - UoCII sounds like the winner to me.

It's really difficult. Supply and logistics is the killer. I don't think I've quiet mastered the supply system.

Also, two issues. First, there doesn't seem to be a save system. Just when you exist the scenario it saves. Is there something I'm missing? Second, resolution. The best I can get in full screen is like 1600x1200 and in windowed mode it's something close to 2560x1440. I can't get it to 3840x2160.

I got my ass kicked justly by the first game, so I am broken in already.

Stop it! You're scaring me. :hide: I like my games like I like my women, pretty, simple, fun, and easily refundable.

You'll get none of that here! UoC is no floozy.

UoC is a harsh mistress.

Which is why there is no save system; at least, what JH describes reminds me EXACTLY of UoC1.

This raises a question I haven't answered by playing it myself yet, ::)

, but part of the harsh mistressity of UoC1 was a random weather system that could not be turned off, or even turned to historical. And the weather will ABSOLUTELY RUIN any of your plans in UoC1, because there are only a few narrowly different ways to get to your objectives in time and no way (due to the time scale) to re-adjust your plans for random weather effects. Is UoC2 still like that?

UoC2 feels a lot less prescriptive in the "correct" way to do things now. The maps tend to be bigger and more open-ended than UoC1 (a bit ironic since that was the eastern front game), and there's a lot more optional objectives. Also, there's now a difficulty slider, which adjusts the turn limit giving you more time on easier difficulties.

Oh, and to answer your question about weather - I've not noticed any catastrophic effects from weather, but it still seems to be more or less random.

^Good points, I do remember feeling that UoC felt puzzle like and there were some who did not like that puzzle feeling.
