What is Unity of Command (Series)?

Unity of Command is a series of critically-acclaimed turn-based strategy video games developed by 2x2 Games and published by Dvaput. The games focus on the decisive battles between Axis and Soviet forces on the Eastern Front of World War II.

The first game in the series, simply titled Unity of Command, was released in 2011. Players take control of either Axis or Soviet forces during 1942-1943 and make decisions each turn on positioning units, attacking the enemy, and capturing cities. The game features two campaigns with over 60 scenarios and received praise for its accessible yet realistic gameplay and detailed recreation of Eastern Front battles.

A stand-alone expansion, Unity of Command: Stalingrad Campaign, was released in 2013. As the name suggests, the expansion focuses specifically on the important Battle of Stalingrad with new features and improved graphics. It won Strategy Game of the Year at the 2013 Strategy Awards.

The second full game in the main series, Unity of Command II, launched in 2019 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Unity of Command II features new 3D visuals, expanded features like weather conditions and supply lines, and covers the final years of the war from 1943-1945. The game continues the well-regarded gameplay of the original while offering new challenges for veterans.

Across the series, Unity of Command has received praise from critics and players for its accessible game mechanics coupled with realistic representations of pivotal WWII battles. With its strong critical reception and active modding community, Unity of Command has become a modern classic in the turn-based strategy genre.
