Good evening. You are listening to Through Moves Ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zakeney, here with Three Moves Head founder, Troy Goodfellow.

Hello, hello.

Today we also welcome Katakus, Luke Plunkett.

Hey, everybody.

And today we are talking about two-by-two and apparently Crow teams, Unity of Command 2, a sequel to Unity of Command, an Eastern Front war game that

we all loved a few years back and we thought was really sort of a new benchmark in what a more

approachable entry-level war game could be. Troy, what is Unity of Command in a word for people just sort of picking the series up?

And then how does Unity of Command already depart from what we thought the formula was?

Unity of Command is a turn-based war games in World War II.

The major concept in both games generally is supply.

If you can cut off unit supply in a couple of turns, they all become little puppy dogs,

and you can smush them pretty easily because Nazis like killing puppy dogs.

It is, as you say, it is a very simple war game.

It is relatively easy to pick up, though it's actually quite difficult.

Even in Unity of Command 1, many of the scenarios work quite hard

because they require a very strong understanding of the map,

understanding of space, and understanding of movement.

Units have little pips that reflect their strength.

As you deplete these, the units get destroyed.

They can also be weakened through other means, especially through cutting off their supply.

Unit of Command 2 takes a lot of major departures from Unity of Command 1.

Well, the big one is that, well, first, the setting.
