Description Description
Unconditional Surrender! World War 2 in Europe (USE) is a strategic level game covering the World War II European Theater. Players make the political decisions and control the military forces of the three major factions that struggled for European dominance and survival. With its emphasis on force projection and decision making, players remain focused on the big picture of managing their front lines and political opportunities. Through simple mechanics and low on-map counter density, players easily handle the strategic action without a myriad of complicated subsystems or tall stacks of counters. Though the focus is on the big picture, Unconditional Surrender! still delivers historical detail. Each country has an historical army level order of battle, and its relative economic strength and national will to fight are effectively and simply modeled. Also represented are such World War II events as airdrops, Free Forces, jets, naval evacuation, partisans, radar, railroad artillery guns, and ULTRA; all neatly woven into the game's core mechanics for ease of play. The game has many scenarios ranging from quick playing individual campaigns to longer ones covering up to the entire war.

First hex and counter game I've played. A friend who is very experienced has guided me (41) and my son (19) through this game. We are about 70 hours into our first game and are almost done. We are planning on playing it 3x so everyone gets to play every side. Our previous experience was a lot of Axis and Allies and Twilight Struggle. None of us can think of anything crucial that we would change to improve the game, although we've modded the chits and made copies of some of the important lists such as the DRM sheet, along with movement and supply rules.

Excellent game, flows well and the economics really force decisions on the players which can make for some fascinating tactical moments. Would rate this with EoTS as one of the best games in my collection, with one caveat. Politics is frankly bonkers and can lead to some...well..."odd" alliances. YMMV!

I especially like the way its not just a scripted replay of WWII. If anything I would add even more what-ifs to the game, like what if Japan attacked the Soviet Union instead of the US, what if France and Britain declare war on Russia when they invaded Poland or Finland. I like the way all the different factors of production, combat, movement and strategic warfare are tied together as well. Only criticism so far is the bad weather turns are kind of slow but that is minor. I am just getting into the game but it is my new favorite.

Great simple strategic hex and counter game! It executes exactly what it says it will execute. It's not some very complex counter stack game, nor is the rule book overly big. This game was my introduction to Hex and Counter games, and I just can't wait to get it back on the table.

The scale is immense: From Moscow to Dublin, From Murmansk to Cairo. The low density Counter count makes for easily playable campaigns. The cleverly thought game mechanic allows for combined forces use: fighter support, amphibious assaults, bomber interceptions, economic submarine warfare, it's all in! They are seamlessly embedded into the easy to follow phases. Thank you Mister Salvatore Vasta for this game! You can even play online on GBA and then buy that wonderful game!
