Fantastic Strategy Game

This is my favorite Strategy game on IOS by a long shot. My only request would be to maybe add a new map or a time slider for modern conflict. As well as new vehicles and troop icons for such. Love the game very much and think maybe a Modern installment would be sick!!

Great game

Love the Cold War setting, and I love that you’re able to go so far passed the 80s the F-22 is introduced. I would really love to see a modern game that could include the American-Iranian conflict, Russo-Ukrainian conflict, or obviously just fictional conflicts set in the lates 90s-modern day, or as someone else mentioned, a gulf war version.

Amazing quality

This game is phenomenal. The escalation system adds so much complexity and realism and the game is very detailed. Would love to see more! I could easily spend hours on this.
