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.
Plucked from the game Unconditional Surrender! World War 2 in Europe (USE), USWC provides shorter, smaller footprint scenarios for those wanting to play the Unconditional Surrender! design but lacking the space and time needed for the much larger USE. USWC also serves as an alternative way to teach it to other players. Owners of USE that have the space and time for it do not have to buy this game. However, it may be worth it if you are looking for something much more portable to bring somewhere else to play or for an inexpensive gift for a wargaming friend.
From the air and ground mechanics in Poland 1939 to the airborne-assisted invasion in Denmark-Norway 1940, players learn the basic operational rules to the game that they can tune in the Balkans 1941 or French North Africa 1942 campaigns. They can then take that experience to larger, competitive scenarios like France 1940 and France 1944. You will decide how far to push your successful spearheads, not knowing how far the rest of your units will advance. You will have to decide what the right balance between timidity and recklessness is and where to commit your air and other assets for success.
Unconditional Surrender! Western Campaigns features the low counter density that is a hallmark of the system, while providing event markers for such assets as airdrops and ULTRA - all of which are woven into the game's core mechanics for ease of play. As the game covers individual campaigns, nearly all scenarios use only a single 8.5 x 11in map and common 8.5 x 11in tracking display. For those familiar with Unconditional Surrender! World War 2 in Europe, the ground and air rules remain the same, while more strategic elements (e.g. diplomacy, strategic warfare, and naval operations) have either been abstracted or removed to simplify the rules and reduce playing time.
Unconditional Surrender! Western Campaigns has six scenarios ranging from Poland 1939 to France 1944.
Ages: 14+
Players: 2
Game Length: 30-240 minutes
