Restore purchases not working

With the update I can no longer see or restore scenarios I have paid for.

Bug prevents advancement past 2nd scenario

Winning the "Protection Problems" scenario in the 1st campaign does not unlock subsequent scenarios, so the bulk of the game can't be completed.

Also, game boards are far too small, making the gameplay dull and robotic.

UPDATE DENIES ACCESS TO PREVIOUSLY PAID FOR GAME!!!

purchased the full 1863 game. Updates took away access to more than half of what I had purchased. I see many other customers with the same issue yet no response. A legit app would require a nominal fee sometimes with a major update. Hunted Cow Games apparently thinks we should pay full price for what we already purchased for a game that seems basically the same as the earlier version. I suggest we all contact Apple and let them know we’ve been ripped off. sadly, I would give the game five stars if they didn’t attempt a shameless revenue grab.

Civil war 1863

This game overwhelming favors the defender and the results are frequently counterintuitive.

Civil War Gettysburg

Like these games, but this one locks up after a few rounds. How about a fix/update?!?!
