The campaign, based in Europe and North Africa, sees you fighting along the mountain ranges and coastal environments of the Western Theater, beginning with Wadi Akarit in Tunisia.

Unity of Command 2, the new World War II strategy game from Croteam and 2×2 Games, is a significantly more complex experience compared to its predecessor.
