Unity of Command - Black Turn DLC DLC

Nice expansion for the great game!

Far too Easy campaign except the last two maps, the core game is more chalengeful than this dlc.I buy it for 2.5 €, but still if i'd bought it 10 bucks, i would be pissed. Still a cool dlc and worth 2 bucks, Devs have doen a sweet job, but again too easy for a positive feedback. And i don't want to hear "to compelte each map on impressive victoriesé cause i replayed only two maps in the core game i'd to replay almost every map 2/3/4/5 times

I feel ripped off. The 1st scenario, labeled easy requires taking 6 objectives on a large map with plenty of Russians in 6 turns or you are stuck. If I play this scenario for 100 years, I see no way to win.

The Black Turn DLC takes you from the opening stages of Operation Barbarossa to the Gates of Moscow. As the store page says its a prequel to the main German campaing which takes place around Stalingrad. There are basically 3 campaing "paths" if you wanna call it that. Army Group North which takes place in the Baltics and towards Leningrad, Army Group South which takes place on the Romanian border and into Ukraine and Army Group Center which leads all the way to Moscow. You aren't really "choosing" a path though, you can play all of the missions in a single campaing. Just like the main game some missions still have requirements like "you must get a decisive victory in the previous mission!" which can make things very complicated because of how hard the game is (or I just suck at it). This DLC is a lot easier compared to the main campaings which I love cuz in the main German campaing I can only get a few missions in before I get stuck cuz I can't get decisive victories (I really do suck at the game I guess). +3 different campaing paths. You can play all of them in the same campaing so you don't have to play the campaing 3 times to see all the missions. Army Group North, South and Center. +A lot easier then the main campaing which is wonderful news for me. Fun DLC. Still hard, the enemy AI still loves cutting your supply lines whenever it can.

Great extension for UoC - if you enjoyed the original "Stalingrad Campaign", you will also love this one! IMO a bit easier than the "Stalingrad Campaign" - at least I managed to achieve more "brilliant victories" than in the "Stalingrad Campaign" scenarios ... ;-)

Excellent operational campaign game that surpasses Panzer General line of games. The line of Unity games has the feel of east front warfare in WWII: swift breakthroughs with panzers racing to encircle Russian units. It took me several tries to get Decisive Victories in the scenarios, and some scenarios I'm still working my way there. The game has lots of improvements to gameplay, like extra movement if a unit doesn't attack, showing the route a unit will take to its destination, and being able to undo a move you have just made. Especially nice is the supply line requirement that is simple and easy to observe, without burdening the player with details. This also makes clearing the supply path vital to a successful offensive. And beware, the computer AI will look for an opportunity to cut your supply lines, which can be very embarrassing. My one minor complaint is that you can't save the campaign game of linked scenarios at the end of each scenario, so failing a scenario means you have to start over. I realize this is a design feature, but I'd still prefer being able to save the campaign. The game does do an auto-save as you progress through the campaign so you can pick up wherever you left off last time. I highly recommend Unity of Command as a truly fine game.

An utterly addictive game, that will punish you like no other - the AI is perhaps the most ruthlessly bold i have ever seen in a game, they will take advantage of any opportunity to cut off your supply where possible and encircle units. Its quite a puzzle to figure out how to get teh best result. I have been playing maps over and over again, trying to figure out how to be as efficient as possible - very rewarding to finally get the objective, a game that really makes you work for it. The background music is pretty cool too
