{"product_id":"unconditional-surrender-western-campaigns","title":"Unconditional Surrender! Western Campaigns","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnconditional Surrender! Western Campaigns (USWC) is an 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.\n\nPlucked from the game Unconditional Surrender! WW2 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.\n\nDESIGN HIGHLIGHTS:\n\nLow On-Map Counter Density: The number of counters on the map is incredibly low.\nSimple Stacking: No more than one of the same type of unit per hex.\nNo Factors on Counters: No combat or movement factors on counters.\nSingle Combat System: One combat resolution sequence and Combat Results Table covers all types of combat, yet the results differ for air or ground combat.\nIntegrated Movement \u0026amp; Combat System: Units move and fight in a combined activation.\nErgonomically Friendly: Easily fits in extremely limited gaming space.\n\"Use it or lose it.\" Economic System: Simple math with minimal record keeping.\nEasy to Modify: The relatively simple mechanics make it easy to modify the game.\nUnconditional Surrender! World War 2 in Europe Compatibility: The ground and air units, event markers, and combat system are the same in both games. The scenarios are similar except for the elements that were abstracted. If you later decide to play USE, you will have additional rules to learn but little to unlearn.\n\nTIME SCALE: Monthly Turns\nMAP SCALE:  30 to 40 miles per hex\nUNIT SCALE: Army, Fleet, or Wing\nNUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2\n\n\nCOMPONENT LIST \n5 8.5\"x11\" maps\n1 8.5\"x22\" map\n1 sheet with 280 counters\n1 Rules Booklet\n1 Play Book with 9 scenarios\n2 foldable 11\"x17\" Player Aid Cards\n1 8.5\"x11\" Faction Card\n2 6-sided dice\nGame Box\n\n-description from designer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.00 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salvatore Vasta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51925799338200,"sku":"SB-51968355C76B-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/gjltizaqwnngqwpm9ll10o7vyjbx.jpg?v=1785459205","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/unconditional-surrender-western-campaigns","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
