Shuts down

Seemed ok for a couple of days.. now it wont even open.. complete waste of money..

Manual?

When I click on the manual to learn how to play the game I get an ad to date Ukrainian women. A manual would sure help in understanding the game. As it is you kind of just click on units to see what happens. The game does slowly drool out information as you play.

Bring Close Combat to iOS!

I bought this game just to say... bring all Close Combat games to iOS! I will buy them all! Total War Rome came to iOS, so the tech is there to allow CC to work. I bought Firefight which is a clone 9 of CC, but AI is not good enough! Bring a real PC game to iOS! Close Combat!!!!!

Ehhh

I think the games concept is great but theres alot of flaws in the game first when I buy a unit on the first mission and put it in a little water area it stays in the landing craft and fights on land another thing is the game doesnt have a save so if your in the middle of a fight and leave you have to restart the games mechanics are weird and Im still learning how to supply my troops the music doesnt fit in at all with the scenario and I cant know the name of the enemy units or have a little information button on there which isnt important but plays a nice role in the game for people who may not know alot on WW2 another thing is I cant play as the Axis which would be fun I think if you had a choice between playing the Allies or the Axis like with Burning Bridges which is made by a completly different company but still its a cool little feature also I would like to buy flame throwers but they arent an option which kind of frustrates me because they are great against bunkers and Im tired of sending Riflemen to die or buy 5 tanks to take on one bunker because the bunker is being supported my Artillery and and machine guns I hope you can remake a better game and add new things so the games for fun like a sandbox mode where you can add troops to defend and pick your side I think that would be fun and the maps would already be made thank you for reading my review and I hope you can make better games in the future
