One is an oldie but goodie (apparently, haven't played it myself) and
the other is new and not as bad as the itch.io tag makes it look (also
apparently).

I skipped the former (because I grumpily don't want to link the Steam
account) but grabbed the other, 'cause free.)

Thanks MG
(although you have earned my eternal enmity by scooping me on
announcing these free games. You are now my nemesis ;-) ;-) ;-)

I've played UoC and although I like it, it does suffer what some
wargames do when in single player mode. Scenarios can end up feeling
like puzzles with their short turn limits. The AI can also be pretty
brutal in exploiting supply lines to bring your advance to a halt.
