No that is 2x3.

  Wow!  Looks really good!  And you get an editor!

to get in the mood for Unity of Command II, I've been playing Unity of Command (the old one).

Same here....still damn difficult sometimes

'Puzzle like.'

[demjansk1942]

Too many games being released, I can't play them all

[Skoop]

'Puzzle like.'

That's why I'll pass.  I want flexibility, not a puzzle.

[Gusington]

The original UoC was definitely puzzle like but I have heard murmurs that the developers are attempting to make this second game less so.

Release in a couple of hours.

Post impressions!!

[Ian C]

I just dove into Overlord and took a look at another scenario. Very impressed. The strategic and HQ features are very good and a really good step-up from Unity of Command 1.
I think this is one of the most well-produced and great-looking WW2 games I've seen yet. Great UI production values, amount of scenarios, campaign and the editor - this is a good purchase.

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

[al_infierno]

Yeah.  Between the HQ units, movable supply depots, and persistent units and support, I think this game will please the people who disliked the first one for being too "puzzle-y."  There's still a fairly strict turn timer, but now there's at least a difficulty slider so you can lax the turn limit a bit.  Feels like they took some more queues from the Panzer General playbook, which is always a plus for me!

I also gotta say that I LOVE the new options for special attacks, i.e. artillery suppression, feint attack, etc.  A problem I had with UoC1 was that the infantry felt practically useless and only there to fill holes in your line and mop up damaged enemies.  This game makes infantry much more useful with these special attacks that inflict suppression without taking the heavy losses associated with attacking a fortified position head-on.

I like what you guys are posting.

West front only for now?

Yeah, but apparently there's an eastern front DLC in the pipeline  :dreamer:
