User reviews

Dice roll

Dice roll takes way too long and extends game. Would be better if AI just accounted for both rolls. Also, played through all scenarios and as I upped the opponent AI it just seemed like it reduced my chances of what I needed. Went through multiple engagements where I couldn’t get a 5 or below through 4 rolls.

Response from developer

Hi, I aim currently improving the amount of information and choice to the player to make the gameplay quicker & less. This includes the large amount of scrolling messages that tell you everything that's going on. I'm deferring this now to the log. The higher AI rating only affects the starting units on the map. Higher AI means more experienced units (and/or) more units. The die rolls & the ai actions/path-finding routines are not affected. More experienced units have better stats so obviously they will fare better against you units/ If you have a specific experience, contact me and I will recheck. regards Tony

Functional and mostly fun

Memoir 44 style game is great. Really enjoy the functionality.

Buttons are really small on iphone and there’s no option to make adjustments. This has led to some incorrect button selections as I do not use a stylus.

Other feedback is auto-rolling for the AI feels like a good way to save some time.

Extremely disappointed

Half the reason people want to play a game like this is to engage in different scenarios to see how they progress. Having to completely set up each scenario first makes the gaming experience more tedious and less enjoyable

Response from developer

Hi, In every scenario, units are generated & placed (with intelligent randomness on placement) automatically for you at the start of the game during the SETUP phase. If you press the exit setup button (shown top left) you don't need to place units but can accept whatever is currently shown.

Very disappointed

I want to see if this game matches the reviews and it’s very disappointing. If I’d known that I’d have to actually set up the battle scenario I wouldn’t have purchased the game. Definitely not worth the money

Great wargame!

This is awesome, I like how units have both morale AND skill ratings. Too many tac games combine those into a single TEM factor, which fails to capture a lot of situations (like high morale or fanatical troops with poor equipment and training - which is basically ever Russian unit there ever was). I would give my left nut for some Eastern Front scenarios!

Response from developer

Glad you like it! Reducing a unit's Morale results in the unit being less effective hence suppresses the unit's ability to move or fight. Skill reflects the quality of the unit. The Normandy landings found the US paratroopers fighting many German conscripts (e.g. captured Russians pressed into service) so these were less effective at combat.
