Description

Available for Pre-Order. Made the Cut.

Unconditional Surrender! Western Campaigns (USWC) is a strategic-level game covering World War 2 campaigns fought between the Axis and Western Allied factions in Western Europe. With its emphasis on force projection, players focus on the big picture of managing their military forces. Using simple mechanics and low on-map counter density, players easily handle the action without complicated subsystems or tall stacks of counters.
 
DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

 

Low On-Map Counter Density: The number of counters on the map is incredibly low.
Simple Stacking: No more than one of the same type of unit per hex.
No Factors on Counters: No combat or movement factors on counters.
Single Combat System: One combat resolution sequence and Combat Results Table covers all types of combat, yet the results differ for air or ground combat.
Integrated Movement & Combat System: Units move and fight in a combined activation.
Ergonomically Friendly: Easily fits in extremely limited gaming space.
"Use it or lose it." Economic System: Simple math with minimal record keeping.
Solitaire Friendly: Though not designed with solitaire rules, it is easy for one player to play both sides.
PBEM Capable: The game can be played using PBEM software, but its mechanics may require frequent exchanges.
Easy to Modify: The relatively simple mechanics make it easy to modify the game.
Unconditional Surrender! World War 2 in Europe Compatibility: The ground and air units, event markers, and combat system are the same in both games. The scenarios are similar except for the elements that were abstracted. If you later decide to play USE, you will have additional rules to learn but little to unlearn.
