"Unity of Command" Reviews, Previews and Interviews

Unity of Command lets you replay the epic conflict that was the Stalingrad Campaign of World War II. In this turn-based game of strategy and cunning, observe how opportunity leads the German army to advance recklessly into the steppes of southern Russia. And as the story unfolds, join the Soviet campaign to repel the invaders... As these legendary battles play out on the hex board, the tension of decision making and difficulties of conducting operations on a massive scale emerge. Command armies and fronts in maneuver warfare, thrust and encircle, capture cities and cross continents; but never, ever forget to watch your supply lines. The Red Turn expansion ads a gigantic Soviet expansion centered on the Kursk campaign.

A review in Finnish is available at dome.fi

[Translated from Finnish]: "Unity of Command was a pleasant surprise. It has enough content to satisfy experienced players, but it's streamlined design also makes it easy for beginners to learn."
