![]() ![]() That said, whereas Panzer Corps 1 had a base campaign that then split into a huge Grand Campaign of multi-stage DLCs, only to eventually be re-released as Panzer Corps Gold with everything in a single package for $30 (a good bargain for gamers who never bought the game and don’t mind the dated graphics, but an annoyance for those who bought most but not all of the DLC and cannot buy any more without buying the whole package for $30), Order of Battle decided to entirely go the split-up DLC route. Afterwards, it fully went back on the notion of making its game distinct from Panzer Corps by just outright releasing three DLC mini-campaigns (four if you count the alternate Sandstorm path that leads to the same final campaign) that form a full Panzer Corps campaign when played consecutively while also shutting out the ability to purchase naval units for your corps. Order of Battle’s main addition was having both a naval and land force in the same game, although these sadly tend not to be integrated well, and instead are naval battles in one mission then land battles in another.Īfter making the main campaign and some DLC to add side campaigns for the Second Japanese-Sino War and US Marines campaign, the developer decided to go back on this division, and rebranded the game as Order of Battle: World War II, before making Winter War as a start, where one plays as the Finnish holding off the early Soviet advances on its neighbors before Operation Barbarossa properly started the Eastern Front. (More on that below.) Hence, they did what any company making a follow-up to a game about World War 2 (which always first involves the UK/US forces versus Germany first, unless the developers are Russian, in which case they go for the Eastern Front) always do next – the Pacific. This was likely done because this game is so mechanically similar to the already very popular Panzer Corps game that it makes more sense to just list what things are new than what the similarities are. ![]() It was sold in the more traditional manner of being a $40 game for a game with a tutorial and two campaigns where you play opposing sides, being a Japanese and American navy campaign. I havent played UOC but it looks like a troop traffic jam ? i doubt i would like it from looking at a couple of screen shots so hey my rating is 3/10 sounds fair?Order of Battle started its life as Order of Battle: Pacific back in 2015. Judge this after release not b4 that just shows ignorance. but how can anyone really give any weight to some tubers opinion about a game that is not even released.Ī score rating for a game thats not even released means nothing. I have many issues and concerns about panzer clone 2. I think Order of Battle at $14.99 with loads of free DLCs from Erik over at Slitherine is the best value going I agree from the hours of gameplay of PzC2 I have watched Night Phoenix - arguably one of the most accomplished war gamers on YouTube and a reviewer of both UOC2 and PzC2 rates PzC2 a 5 out of 10. PzC2 is really just a marginal face lift over PzC1 - sure PzC2 has some fancy bells like Random Scenario Generator - but frankly, who cares. Originally posted by MatthewT:UOC 2 is far superior in terms of logistics challenges, subtlety, and depth - IMO. You don't have to care about taking airfields or rebasing your air units. This role playing element is where the latter really shine.Īlso: there is no on-map air force and heavy artillery. You cannot build, customize and nanny your core units the way you can do it in PG/PC. There is pretty much exactly one winning strategy for every map. ![]() It's more like a puzzle game than a war game. It's just about memorizing the optimal move and attack sequence, there is not much room for experimenting with different approaches and unit composition because of the time limit and the small maps. You have to be lucky to draw the right cards at the conference and get the right rolls, because the time limit is very unforgiving. Yes, it has a pretty nice implementation of supply and combat readiness, but it is much smaller in scope. I own UoC 2 and for me it's slow and grindy, and a lot of RNG is involved. If you want a German campaign and all that Wehrmacht immersion and lots of different units and equipment, it's definetely PC2. ![]()
