Great concept but glitches a lot

Great tactical wargame

One of the best implementations of flanking, morale, Napoleonic-era combined arms I have seen. Really easy asynchronous turn-based multiplayer. My only complaint is not having enough active opponents.

Best Turn Based Strategy Game Available

This is a fantastic turn based strategy game. Only takes a couple of games to learn and is far and away the best strategy game for iPhone.
