Finally, the DLC gives both sides new specialist steps to attach to their divisions, ranging from steel beasts (the IS-2, the Nashorn) to oddball units like the Hungarian Zrinyi II tank destroyer. The game’s unit selection has nearly doubled, mostly to include Allied units and the Wehrmacht’s late war roster of second-line units ( Luftwaffe ground troops, security divisions, Volksgrenadier, etc.), though the Krauts also get fearsome SS Panzer divisions to give them more staying power against the revitalized Soviets. The DLC also includes five new combatants (Finland, Slovakia, Poland (under Soviet control), Bulgaria, and Yugoslav partisans), though most of them only appear in cameos or in the scenario editor-which leaves the door open for modders and future expansions to include more scenarios focused on these nations. The campaign map has more than quadrupled, and there are many scenarios as expansive as the base game’s largest, including several new and well-balanced PvP scenarios. Red Turn broadens the focus of the campaign from Army Group South’s battles of ’42/’43 to encompass the whole of the Eastern Front in the last two years of the war, from Kursk to the Brandenburg Gate. The Red Turn DLC builds on this tradition, while greatly expanding the scope of the campaign and the replay value of the game. It was widely praised for its intuitive interface, simple and transparent mechanics, and fiendish AI. The original Unity of Command is an elegant wargame focused on the 1942-43 Stalingrad/Caucasus campaign and the Soviet counterattack. Recently I had the pleasure of helping the small team at 2×2 Games beta test their eagerly anticipated Red Turn expansion for Unity of Command. No high resolution or widescreen support. Multiplayer scenarios lack undo function.
User-friendly scenario editor.įailed Basic: No defensive scenarios, few Axis scenarios. Rule tweaks improve the flow of the game. New units, combatants, and specialist steps.
