Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking battles without supply, resupply and reinforcement management may hit a wall in the logistics layer

Our take on Unity of Command II
The bounce point arrives when battlefield decisions extend beyond attacking units. Players must track supply lines, use headquarters abilities, reveal hidden positions and coordinate theater assets, so those seeking direct combat without operational planning may stop at the logistics and reconnaissance systems.
What is Unity of Command II?
Command the Western Allies during the Second World War while directing army divisions and maintaining their supply and logistics.
Enemy positions remain hidden until revealed through reconnaissance, captured stragglers, headquarters upgrades or special abilities. Headquarters on the map support reorganization, bridging, resupply, reinforcement and recovery, with options such as emergency supply and motorization. Theater assets include sabotage, aerial reconnaissance, bombing and air supply. Branching campaigns include optional objectives that can alter historical events. The game also includes battles from the Axis perspective, a scenario editor and Steam Workshop support for creating and sharing battlefields. Supply lines shape operations, including deep strikes, encirclement and attacks behind enemy lines.
