### 4/5 — Review

*2022-04-11, version 1.09*

The AI is weak, even at the toughest setting.

### 4/5 — Better then Panzer general

*2021-10-25, version 1.09*

There is such a demand for games like this and yet the developers stuck with the old worn out hex games instead of enhancing this. I am asking the developer to fix the problems, expand the game. This developer has several so-so games because they keep using the engine they use for the civil war games, Romans, Hannibal and others which are all me to games. This engine is better and smoother. The previous game based on d-day could also be updated and included. This could easily be a 5 star. 
 PREVIOUS REVIEW This is a great game but could use a few more units. Also, there is at least 3 scenarios where you meet all three objectives but it says you missed one. Finally, I have played all three campaigns and we could use a fourth or the ability to play as the Allies. Too bad the developer has pretty much walked away from this engine but still worth a purchase. I knocked it down to 4 stars because the developer has abandoned it and it now has several glitches. Still enjoyable but they are foolish for not fixing and expanding it.

### 3/5 — NOT better than Panzer General....

*2021-05-17, version 1.09*

OK game, but not as sophisticated as the panzer general series or other turn based games where, for instance specific units can last
throughout the campaign, gaining experience and upgrades. There  is also no defensive artillery support or fighter escort defense to speak of.
It’s a pretty basic game, but still fun.

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2020-09-28, version 1.09*

I save 1 star ratings for apps that are broken. 

This one needs a much better tutorial and better balancing of German and Soviet forces.

### 3/5 — Great until you get to Act III

*2020-07-15, version 1.09*

It gets real buggy on Act III including impossible situations where you cannot get a complete victory in two battles.

### 5/5 — Just hard enough

*2020-04-14, version 1.09*

I love hex based TBS games, but I’m not all that good at them. Difficulty ramps up nicely resulting in a good learning curve. Graphics and sound are great. Can’t comment as to historical accuracy; I’m just playing for fun, and fun it is!

### 2/5 — Nice But

*2019-09-14, version 1.09*

The game does not let you attack Moscow !  Even if you win all the battles there is no attacking Moscow.

### 4/5 — Solid effort for a beer and pretzel game

*2019-04-22, version 1.09*

Very simple ai; but still fun.  I wish matrix would hurry up and release more serious squad based games

### 4/5 — The missions after the first get too hard

*2019-02-20, version 1.09*

I gave it a three star review because missions after the first get  very hard, and in my opinion they get too hard after the first.

### 3/5 — Enjoyable Game

*2018-06-04, version 1.09*

I played through the 12 Scenarios. It’s very much like Panzer General or Panzer Corps which I really enjoy. I didn’t encounter any significant bugs, which was nice... and there is a real ‘blitzkrieg’ element that makes the battles compelling. A solid 4 star game, except that I paid for this game and I’m annoyed to see in game purchase offers on my battle map. Save it for the credits or leave it out. I didn’t pay for in-game marketing!
