Oh my goodness, many thanks. I hoped you would like it, but did not imagine such a response with all the games you've experienced. I, along with Mark Dey and Allen Hill, are honored by the review. I will state for the record I did not bribe Marco, though I do feel I owe him at least one glass of wine if we are ever together. :)
Thanks for the brilliant review I now have this game sitting beside me waiting to be devoured. I have had World at War sitting on my shelf for years I read the rules once but due to it size and complexity have never been able to bring it to table. World at War is an amazing game and I have wanted to play a strategic Wargame that covers all of WWII for many years but now Unconditional Surrender looks set to finally fill this space. So glad to have been made aware of this game.
Another great review! I have noticed this game over the years and was also afraid it would be too much to handle, but now I'm thinking maybe yes. The 3rd printing is in the P500 section at GMT as I type this so perhaps I'll see it under the Xmas tree in 2022:)
What an enthusiastic way to finish the year Marco. Your other "island" game is Thunderbolt Apache Leader, right, so a nice combination of tactical and strategic. Thanks to your review I'll check this out; hadn't heard of it until now. And I hope that Tiger Leader will be on your review list soon after release. Wink, wink. Buon anno. ~
Hi! compliments for your videos! I always enjoy watching them!:) Would you suggest this game to a non-wargamer who is actually looking for a game about WWII that gives depth and quite realistic but that can be proposed also to occasional players? I was looking either to this title or triumph and tragedy. Would you suggest one of these 2 or do you have maybe other titles I can look up?
Blimey Marco you are having a bit of a bromance with this game! Cant agree more though its a modern classic and will definitely divide opinion. For my part I love it. Hope this system will see development into other theatres/periods it definitely makes the hobby a bit more accessible. Events on cards perhaps?
Hey Marco, love what you're doing you are the reason I started wargaming one year ago. Question buy Unconditional or Liberty roads for the Ww 2 europe theater or get them both. Thanks!
Hi Marco, great channel! I really enjoyed this review, the product and the way you talk about it. I am really into WWII but I wonder if this game would be suitable for me. I am also a little scared by the rules. I am a gamer, I play Puerto Rico, Agricola, Twilight Struggle and many other eurogames. I also play some light wargames such as Conflict of Heroes. Do you think I could enjoy Unconditional Surrender? I am also intrigued by Paths of Glory. Would POG be a more suitable wargame to begin with? Thanks in advance, sincerely GG
Having read the rules for Triumph & Tragedy (have not played it) ... T&T seems much simpler. In fact, so simple that I put the rules away and decided not to bother. I couldn't help comparing it with Days of Decision and thinking it was lacking everything which was fun. Unconditional Surrender seems more interesting. - about to try it.
I cant believe they still make paper game boards , great brake out the scotched tape .😒 looks like I'll need a magnifyglass too🔎. I'll just stick too axis n allies , breathing on the game wont move my pieces. 😤

It looks like you guys did good. Kudos.
Got it last week. Have only played the first year of the campaign and I'm already hooked. Thank you for this very nice game! Best wishes from Sweden.
I hope the back of the box mentions something about tuna salad and all-you-can-eat barbecue. lol

Thanks for all your great videos! I know you say it plays great solitaire... Would you recommend it if you only plan on only playing it solitaire?

So, what was the end result of your 50 hour campaign of this you mentioned in your Best of 2014 review?
and bought..hope it works solo....
Looks like an excellent game.
Hey Marco, so what did you think of the game? You weren't very clear about that. ☺
the tuna salad?
Somebody has BBQ on the brain this season...
Basically Hearts of Iron the Board Game
Interesting game!

Bought!
I bought The Supreme Commander. Should I have bought this instead??
I have not played TSC
How does this compare to Triumph & Tragedy, both game play and complexity?

Where would I get this game?
Hello, is this one well suited to play solitaire?
HELL, YES! It plays perfectly in that format.

put map under plexi. better yet magnetized board and counters. or use boardgaming arena
this or the original third reich?
