Bad glitches.

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 Game on iOS by far !!!!!

Buy this game !!!!

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.

AWESOME LITTLE GEM!!

This game is pretty awesome. The tactics part in depth.. I would love to see more updates in the future.

Underrated Gem

The Best Turn Based Strategy Game on mobile and perhaps also the best Strategy Game I’ve ever played as well. Chess is too linear and you must memorize a billion gambits for it to be great, Subterfuge may have diplomacy but a single game takes forever (not to mention it looks gross since the recent update), and Total War games have moronic AI at times and no PVP on mobile. Musket Smoke although complex has a certainty to it and times and not to mention it lets you build your own armies. You can play multiple games at once for free and quickly visit them through the day, resolving them relatively quickly. The Naarden campaign has pvp like no other game. 10/10

Chess on steroids

This is a great game for all levels

- very good tutorial feature to get you up to speed
- gameplay is easy to grasp
- lots of global players eager to teach you and then beat you
- many scenarios to keep you interested

Have played for 3+ yrs now and still finding out new plays

Great!

This is a really fun game! Great tactics, love flanking units and shredding them to pieces. Wish there was bigger maps against ai, perhaps a future update? Overall, a very fun, intense, interesting game! Would definitely recommend.

review

this game is awsome. play it! It takes getting used to. But once you’ve learned how it works, the campaigns are extremely fun.

Great throwback to old board games

Enjoying the system … exactly as advertised. Simple enough but complex in tactics and this game definitely reminds of playing old SPI games in the basement back in the day. One can imagine lots of applications of the system. Hope to see lots more battles and or campaigns. Highly recommended throwback game. A little wonky, but that’s cool with me.

Best turn-based tactics on mobile

This game really is great, a fun challenge against other players or the very good AI. Combined arms in the age of flintlocks, pikes, cavalry and cannon. Infantry squares, gore piles, routs. Get it! I want the sequel.

Chess with more pieces

I love this game. Matches take weeks at a time if they’re good. Consequences are harsh. If you lose you can always rematch and learn more from your opponent. It’s a great game of sacrifice or defense. Every unit can survive the battle if you choose or if you really want you can sacrifice one for a greater reward. I purchased the campaign ‘cause I liked this game so much and after purchasing the campaign it’s really all I play. For those that like action and reaction and thinking about those things before they happen this game is great.

Increase sales? Add true solo play!

Right up there with Carrier Battles for Guadalcanal (CBFG). I gave MS 4 stars. The developer DID clearly state that MS is a multiplayer game but I was hoping for a decent solo play experience too since there were Tutorials and Solo Training. I was wrong. No joy for solo play so I’m deleting MS. As a professional iOS game reviewer wrote recently, developers maybe realizing that there is a big market for solo play games. I don’t play MMOs, multiplayer (Not completely true. I did play Doom when it first could use Novell Networks), nor online games. I’ve had way more negative experiences than good ones. Less BS and more enjoyment. The solo play in MS is crippled not giving wind the indicator, etc. (Why remove that (or why leave it in the manual just with lines through it?)) It’s the whole page. Just remove it. And no campaigns.

I was drooling at the way this game is designed when I dug into the manual. And it’s my favorite period of warfare history. (I would love to find a tank warfare (local solo play) sim/game with MS level of detail and depth of strategy. The search continues.

Add a true solo game feature and I’d gladly pay for it as an add on with the great play detail with the multiplayer!

Tactical combat at it’s most engaging!

Even the best players will be challenged. Little mistakes can be overcome and learned from although tempting targets will be there to lure you into danger. Risk vs. reward should be on your mind. The American Civil war buffs will enjoy the similar tactics of game play. Rewarding point system keeps me hungry for scores. The fall back option can alleviate the stress of a poorly managed campaign scenario. The fog of war can be created by the armies themselves and can be tricky for the unwitting. First contact is as unnerving as it should be as you can never tell how creative your opponent will be. Playing is simple yet being cold and calculating will bring the best results. Free to try, inexpensive to buy. This is a well thought out and well put together game Come and see for yourself.

Buy This

Easy to play, hard to master. The community of players is welcoming and the games variable. I would like the designers to develop other games and substantially improve the solo training to better reflect the unpredictability the player will encounter in head-to-head play.

Getting that brain working!

Reminds me of my chess days: more cerebral than most games on here...and accessible at the same time.
Some very friendly and helpful veterans helping me out with tips and tricks.

Easyish to play; hard to master. Fun!

Hidden gem!

A great game with a simple to understand but still interesting combat system. Its only really worth getting for the expansion pack, and now a days only the best players still play, so it’s hard to get involved. Still fun even as you lose though, and you can always improve!

Takes awhile to learn

Good game

Great Game

Fantastic game. A map editor and an offline campaign mode would be a nice addition
