Good game

Although there’s only 12 missions total, the gameplay and difficulty is more even-handed than some of Hex games’ other titles. Personally I prefer having more content to sift through, but this is a fun time-killer if you don’t feel like having to play their 8-mission campaigns.

Good Game but some glitches.

The game is very good and would highly recommend. The glitches include the Confederate flag bugging out, and completing the bonus level crashes the game.

New update a disappointment

New update might work for iPhone but it is a serious downgrade on the iPad. Very small font and units, map is not centered and cannot be zoomed out like before which was better, buggy - does not recognize targets after movement nor show formation change button after moving.

IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN

This is a really annoying game. No matter what you do, you can't win. Save yourself the aggravation (and $$). Vote "No" to poorly-designed apps.

Love this game

Very nice gameplay
