Unity of Command Forums

Hello all, I hope things are going well.

Are there any updates as to what's next?

Thank you

I've posted this on Friday to twitter (@unityofcommand). Should have probably added it here as well so there, corrected

I think this is going to be a blast to play. There are many rivers that warp the terrain considerably, and there are a few swamps that of course change around in the winter. Also when you're playing the germans, rail system is working against you because of how it radiates away from Moscow.

In short, we're working on it...

Very nice.

Assuming that the next addon will be BARBAROSSA?

It's the worst kept secret ever!

That looks like it will be a brilliant map Tomislav, can't wait for the new release. Any word on an approximate release date/quarter? Sorry if I've missed it elsewhere!

PS. Commiserations on the result tonight. Regards from Glasgow

Be lying if I said I was surprised, but excellent.

The '41 campaign makes far more sense than the Soviet '43-'45 campaigns because UoC's most enjoyable with relatively low unit counts. Some of the later scenarios in RT the arbitrary stacking limit is more of an enemy than the Germans, many of your slower and weaker units won't even see action after the first turn or two; that all reduces the fluidity that makes scenarios like Terek such fun.

Also, playing the German side (which frankly I prefer to do) will produce a nice natural progression from easy to hard with the possibility to change the result of the war. I expect a campaign similar to the original with one or two hypothetical scenarios tacked onto the end if the player really balls ass.

Will there be a Soviet campaign based on, say, the winter '41-'42 counterattacks?

Thanks and I guess I should send congrats the other way, it was a well deserved victory by the Scots.

When it's done, I know it's a cliche but there you go.

We've got 10 scenarios ATM, including an initial rough cut of Operation Taifun. So, only a handful are left to be done, but then we need to make sure they all work and that they're balanced. I'm not sure how long this will take, so I'll only announce the DLC when we get close to beta.

'43-'45 was very one-sided, at least on the level we're playing here.

Also, the AI is a bigger challenge, as a flexible defense works best for the Germans and that's really hard for the AI.

Agreed, this campaign should have a much more natural progression with no special effort from our side.

No, just the scenarios. Obviously there will be Moscow (possibly split into 2 scenarios) and perhaps Rostov. I'm not entirely sure yet.

Great news, I love this game, what would be amazing to see as a future project is the pacific theater with navies and air battles all hexagon based. In the meanwhile I am looking forward the next dlc, which I'm surely buying!

Awesome! Really looking forward to it. There's nothing comparable to UoC in Entry level wargames at the moment.
