Anyone play Panzer Corps 2 or Unity of Command 2?

I've been playing these two recently released WW2 games and they're a lot of fun. I recommend them for everyone here. They're turn based wargames I think is the genre. Different kind of games than HOI4 but still really fun. Actually I think there are some good ideas in there for future HOI4 DLC and patches.

I've been dying for more Pacific War games

Here's an article with the designer of Task Force Admiral:

Played unity of command 1 and didn't like it. There was so little randomness that it felt like I was playing a puzzle game rather than a strategy game. It wasn't fun crunching numbers for a mathematically best move every time. Haven't looked into the sequel but unless they made some radical changes I doubt I'll be tempted.

They did make radical changes. It's not a puzzle game anymore.
