GMT Games Unconditional Surrender! Western Campaigns

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.

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 11” map and common 8.5” x 11” tracking display. For those familiar with USE, 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.

COMPONENTS Five 8.5"x11" maps, One 8.5"x22" map, One Countersheet, One Rules Booklet, One Play Book, Two 11"x17" Player Aid cards, One Faction Card, Two 6-sided dice
