4 – Unity of Command 2
Considered by many to be the most accessible wargame of all time, Unity of Command 2 is a masterpiece in game design, user experience, and art style. UoC 2 is the kind of title that’s easily accessible, yet extremely hard to master. Players command the Western Allies during the Second World War, and it’s up to them to manage their logistics to make sure each division is fit to fight the good fight. Being an operational-level wargame, the focus is on large-scale movement at a theater level.
3 – Panzer Corps 2
If you want a traditional wargame in the vein of Unity of Command 2 but with a bit more bite and detail, then Panzer Corps 2 is the gold standard.
2 – Command: Modern Operations
What if I told you there’s a wargame out there that’s used by dozens of militaries around the world to simulate the complexity of air and naval combat in exquisite and overwhelming detail? Meet Command: Modern Operations, the kind of game that, to even start playing, you’ll need to at least have a surface-level understanding of how a real military operates. Dive into this one if you’re the kind of guy who knows what a GBU-53/B and an AIM-120D AMRAAM are. If that means nothing to you, your money will be better spent on the game at number one.
