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.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've read many positive reviews about Unity of Command 2. The opponent AI is reportedly cunning and ruthless, can you confirm?

Yes I think it's good. Gives me a hard time for sure. Also, Gates of Hell, Task Force Admiral, Steel Division 2, Burden of Command are all looking awesome too.

Yes they all look promising. Steel Division 2 is the only one off your list that's currently available, the other ones haven't been released yet, if I'm not mistaken. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, Steel Division: Normandy 44.

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.
