## What is Tank Battle?

Land your troops on the beaches of northern France, lay bridges to cross flooded enemy defences, avoid tanktraps, clear the area of dangerous minefields, overcome the enemy and claim the beachhead for the Allies!  Tank Battle: Normandy is a historical wargame themed around the Allied invasion of Axis held in Europe on the 6th of June, 1944.  Play as the Allies, British or Americans as many new units enter the theatre for the first time.  Or, play as the Germans as they use their impressive arrays of heavy tanks, bunker emplacements and artillery to repel the invasion forces.

The invasion missions are a careful recreation of the naval landings at Omaha, Utah, Sword and Gold beaches.  The other missions are a mixture of themed and historical battles that challenge even the most skilled wargamers.  From the lush and forested bocage and fortified beaches of Northern France where tank is king, to tight urban environs where infantry units can rule all, Tank Battle: Normandy requires the player to be at the top of their game!

Enjoy Airborne Landings, bridge-laying tanks, mine-clearing tanks, bunker assaulting AVRE's, Fireflies and Kangaroo’s.  Typical mission objectives include; escorting units, holding positions, capturing points, repairing units and, the ever-popular, destroy the enemy army.

### 3/5 — Could be way better

*2026-05-20*

Yes the game is good it’s very good but why do you need to pay for the extra campaigns as the game itself costed money like you got the game with real money and they want more

### 3/5 — Can't Buy Now

*2024-11-11*

In app But Now button not responsive.

### 1/5 — PAID FOR GAME AND REINSTALL WANTS ME TO PAY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2023-12-16, version 3.1.5*

A shame as in their Civil War 1863 game, I had purchased Tank battle Normandy and only deleted it because they don’t offer a reset on stats. So i get to the fourth challenge of 11 already purchased, and they want me to pay $15.92 to purchase what I already owned and just played. No updates were required or even announced. A case of unmitigated unjustified money grab and I will consider this a personal campaign to shine a light on the scam until it is rectified.

### 2/5 — Attrition scenario under the breakout campaign

*2022-05-01*

Reinforcements do not appear the way that they should. Despite holding out the majority of control points, I am left with the same depleted units that I started with resulting in a loss every single time.

### 3/5 — bug report

*2020-09-28*

In “Surrounded” of “Counter Attack,” the reinforcement of German army does not show up properly after the 12th round. The US planes also keep bombarding the King Tiger.  Please fix.

### 1/5 — No way to win

*2019-12-01*

Did you even test it before releasing? The first German vs US mission, plane just keep bombing the kingtiger and there’s absolutely no way to counter it.

### 4/5 — Impossible. Counterattack/surrounded

*2019-09-24*

Tried hundreds of times but air attack always gets my reamaining tank.

### 1/5 — battle field ratio!

*2019-08-10*

I’m not sure what the heck you guys did when you updated these scenario’s but your force ratios are all out of whack!  I really don’t mind that the opposing force want to attack all the time, even when they are “supposed to be defending and The causal game aren’t really casual anymore🙁

### 1/5 — Update problems

*2019-05-31*

Great game but one update reduced the size of the map to a postage stamp and when you try to increase magnification it’s still too small on an iphone 6 to play. I gave feedback but no satisfactory response.

### 1/5 — Could be good with a little quality control

*2019-04-29*

Early maps are incredibly long and overly complicated - as well as extremely difficult on the hard level. After that, they balance out. Had hex war done any beta testing at all, they would have realized they are scaring off future buyers with maps that take almost an hour to complete, and even then are almost impossible to win.
The final map, "fortified," is apparently an Easter egg: it is mathematically impossible to win this on the hard level. Had they included it as a "bonus challenge" or something, that would have been ok, but to treat it as an actual map is insulting - people waste their time not realizing this is a joke. Hence the one star.

Update: I thought that I’d give the game a try after a year, to see if any progress had been made. On the contrary, the morons who run this game actually made it worse! Now there are levels that can’t be completed even on the “casual” setting. Apple need to remove this developer from iTunes.
