### 2/5 — Formations?

*2020-08-04*

Impossible to change formations

### 4/5 — Great battles of American Civil War.

*2019-12-27*

Latest update 201 has made this game unplayable. No issues prior to update. Game is slow, leaders won’t move, lost all saved games, no more I- cloud saves either. Can no longer speed game up with double tap.

### 3/5 — UNITS NO LONGER MERGE AS BEFORE

*2019-12-25*

As of 24 Dec 2019, units don’t always merge as they used to before last update. Had four successes out of many attempts. Please fix!!!

### 1/5 — App Will Not Open

*2019-09-17*

I purchased this app for iphone.
Have tried to download app 3 times, without success.
There is no support info on app on how to contact the company.
Very poor app support!

### 5/5 — Excellent strategy game, challenging

*2019-02-11*

This is the brigade level strategy game I’ve been looking for. My one criticism is that the interface is a bit wonky - but this is barely noticeable, and I certainly would not downgrade it for that. The scenarios are challenging enough that you need to study the terrain to win the scenarios by the time limit. The A.I. is pretty tough.

### 4/5 — Excellent - but beware of any updates

*2019-02-05*

This has some heavy weight battles and good features. Atmosphere is proper and the recent  Arcade-ish animation that has wrecked their other Civil War games has not been applied .... yet.

Beware of that - and block it if it comes or your troopers will be popping around like Super Mario Brothers.

### 1/5 — Slow and buggy.

*2018-01-04*

When you get it to play it crashes in the zoom map/part or whenever it wants.  Mine just locked me out won’t even boot up anymore.  No refunds,  buyer beware.

### 3/5 — All in one

*2017-07-12*

A couple of previous games on this release.Not bad value for the 'new' bits.The Shiloh scenario is still absolute pants,playing as Union.Hold a pile of control points,kill 10% of the Union army by turn 10,when your troops don't actually get moving till turn 6/7.Take away the pointless time restraint and just let the game flow.
