And he STILL WON’T increase Zoom
He said it doesn’t need be increased. Yet all the other triva they have added over the years. It dawned on me, he can’t. He doesn’t know how. Or it’s a bad design that won’t let him. He’s got my money, why should he care?
Impossible to play on iPhone
The developer doesn’t know how to increase the zoom. LOL

And you keep deleting my reviews like the low class individual you are. Even your screenshots prove my point. It’s too small on a cell phone. The markers are too small to read. Documented 15 years and counting of dropping IQs in the industrialized nations. Go ahead delete this review too. :-p

Great app, simple simulation
This is an excellent app that I hope does well. Mobile is a great platform for hex and counter wargaming and this app perfects it. However, as far as wargames go, the systems are simple and draw inspiration from WW2 wargames such as Simonitch’s series and ASL. This makes the battles not feel quite ancient, as units are fluid and highly mobile. For example, on the battle of Issus, my strategy involved crossing the river with a flanking force and clearing a path, which my main army ended up backing over. This essentially meant that I ended up on the Persian bank with Persians attacking my lines from my side of the river. It was fun, but ancient armies weren’t that mobile generally. I like the Field of Glory system of movement as it allows both cool tactics like crossing a river but still feels like the army has inertia that needs to be fought.

Great Cardboard Feel
Great interface, fun game.
Love this game!
As an avid wargamer, I love this game. It functions well on both phone and tablet. It provides a great hex and counter wargame experience online and against AI. I also enjoy the online matches a lot! I can’t wait for more titles like this.
Top war game
This is a very well written and developed war game. High quality graphics and great replayability define this as a superior game. I look forward to future releases.
Well done developers.

Great classic hex and counter gameplay
I love the classic feel of old school counters combined in a great UI that really lends to the atmosphere.
Great Game!
It’s totally intuitive and very much like a board war game. So glad I found this. I hope the developers will take on other subjects too. A big buggy but great!
Response from developer
Thank you for the review! Note that older devices may have issues with pinch zoom so switching to button zoom will be more stable. If you’ve encountered any other bugs, please message me through the contact info so I can get it resolved. Thanks for playing!
Great game!
This is pretty much an old-fashioned turn-based war game, and anyone who’s played one will get into it instantly. If you haven’t played one before, the advantage of playing on an app is it takes care of all of the fiddly bits for you, it’s all very intuitive. Newbies just want to be sure to check the modifiers that make you stronger or weaker in combat. Leaders are also important in keeping your units strong. Rules and tutorial are very clear and helpful.
Very good system, I hope it is used for more games in the future. The only additions I can think of are maybe some sort of positive modifier for heavy cavalry charges, and also maybe a movement penalty for units that are not in command.
This compares favorably to the HexWar game on Alexander simply because it has online play against human opponents, which is always more fun.

Thank you for the great review and excellent feedback! So happy to hear you’re enjoying it. The move penalty is a really interesting idea.
Old School Wargame, Great new game
I’m an old hex and counter wargamer, and this definitely sits in a slightly above low complexity game, on the order of Command and Colors Ancients, without the frustration that I hear so often from C&C players about “not being able to order all their troops because of not having the right cards”. There are definite command limitations, units in command get bonuses for attack and defense, but you can order everything every turn. There is chaos in that initiative is dice driven, so you could go last one turn and first the next, but that’s the fall of the dice. The mechanics are clear, the TEC available for view anytime, and it plays fast. The community is growing, and whether you play a computer or human, you will have fun. I’m on as “Wargamermike”, so hit me up for a game!

High Production Value
Just finished my first battle and was compelled to write a review. This is a game I have been wanting on iOS for a long time. I love hex and counter war games (Squad Leader, Band of Brothers) and this game scratches that itch. I was a little worried it would be hard to play on my iPhone, my eyes are not what they were when I was younger. I had zero issues playing the game or reading the text. The UI is outstanding and makes the play seamless. The game itself is a lot of fun and mirrors tradition H&C board games. Definitely the best $10 I have spent in a long time. Congrats to the developer for such a well made game. He will be getting my money for any future games he develops.

Unplayable iPhone 12
Update:
The zoom should go twice as far, at least, to be able to see the details of the Counters beyond seeing the Command Range and Movement Allowance values. The counters’ artwork is nice. Why hide it? Why are you opposed to making your game legible? Again, this is on an iPhone 12 just fyi

what I said stands. It stinks on rhe iPhone 12. Period. Zoom is pathetic. You can’t can read the markers. What a crybaby. Go home to your mommy. I mean ‘seriously’. Font way to small and devs (yeah, right) aren’t good enough anymore to allow font sizes! The fact you’ve not seen adjustable font before shows how mediocre you are ss a so-called ‘developer’. Junk like this makes you wonder about their ancestry. Year after year, it’s almost exactly the same inferior apps.

There are 2 ways to zoom, one for older devices, and both go all the way into counter-level. I’m not aware of any game that allows you to change font sizes but I went to great lengths to make sure it’s as readable or better than other iOS board games. My game was tested extensively on multiple devices and I stand by the quality knowing all the hard work I put into it. It is in no way “junk” or “inferior.” Insulting my “ancestry” is just bizarre and makes me think this is a personal attack rather than an honest review of the game.

Excellent
Very good classical wargame, with muances such as command, cohesion etc that make it much more interesting than other similar games one the App Store (eg Ancient Battle series).
Great game!
This one harkens back to the day of the old analogs and they did a great job. I would love to see more of these please!
The PERFECT way to play a fast and fun wargame on iPad!
This game is brilliant... i'm already a fan of history tabletop games and wargames, I hadn't really dipped my toes much into this hex-and-counter style of game, but THIS is the perfect gateway game into this world! Very sharp AI Bots, super fun and tough challenges, lots of Scenarios AND a Campaign mode. What's not to like? Games fly pretty quick, on a flight or just sitting around you can play a few. Just amazing. If you're the slightest bit interested, GET THIS GAME!

Terrific Game!
I played through the campaign twice, and I had fun every minute. I appreciate that games like this exist. It captures what I love about analog hex and counter wargaming but in digital form. It’s also has a great solo system. I really wish there were more games like this in the App Store.
The hex and counter experience we’ve been waiting for on iOS
Great graphics, an intuitive interface, easy to pick up for a newbie but with enough tactical depth for an experienced tabletop grognard.
