Unity of Command is an operational-level wargame that spans the entire 1942/43 Stalingrad Campaign on the Eastern Front. Playable from both Axis and Soviet side, it recreates enormous battles of maneuver in a turn-based strategy setting. Take command in a war where logistics and poor weather are often the decider; and defeat and victory are sometimes just a mile, or a day, apart.
Developed and published by 2x2 Games. First released in November 2011; on Steam since 17 October 2012. Windows, Mac and Linux.
As the strategic initiative swings in favor of the Soviets, you are tasked with liberating the motherland in command of victorious Red Army forces.
Take control of the Wehrmacht and its allies in Operation Barbarossa, from the dramatic early victories all the way to ignominious defeat at the gates of Moscow.
Both expansions are sold as DLC on the Steam and GamersGate store pages and require Unity of Command 1.04 or later. If you bought the game directly from us, see Support.
Unity of Command can be played against another person over the internet, in the “Multiplayer” section of the main menu. Games are hosted on our server, so both players need only a copy of the game (version 1.04 or later) and an internet connection; games are played by turns and can be picked up again days later. The multiplayer server stays up.
Unity of Command is the rare turn-based wargame that anyone can learn and play in a few minutes.

One of the most emotive and compelling strategy games out there.

Doesn’t overdo unit counts and under-engineer AI, unlike most East Front wargames. Wargame of the Year material.
