Great game - love the units, the movement, the trade offs with the limited movement points, the day/night factor, the way they try to include the randomness of war into it. I think most people who like this stuff will enjoy this all the way through until they try to move to the harder level, and then it’s just a waste of time. Hexwar claim the step up is incremental - the enemy get more movement points and are slightly harder in combat. This is not my experience. The enemy are impossible to beat. I had a panzer unit, and two full SS infantry against one para unit, open fields, not dug in, no supporting anti tank. It should have been a slaughter. I shelled the paras, then attacked with all three units. Not a shell landed on the paras, then my panzers were destroyed and then both infantry attacked until they were red. Not a single loss in the sole para opposition. Really?! I’ve been shelling the US para on the bridge at Nijmegen for days and not a single shell has caused any damage. It’s a bridge - there is no cover! The only option is to keep playing the easier levels and winning, or switching to harder and watching units sit and watch the opposition steamroller a win. Such a shame as this could be a really addictive and interesting game concept if they could tweak the difficulty levels a little.
