## What is Twilight's Last Gleaming?

Twilight's Last Gleaming recreates some of the pivotal battles of the War of 1812 between the United States and the British Empire. The latest strategy game from HexWar Games brings the classic Decision Games board game to iPad; Following on from Rebels and Redcoats, this is the second in a series of games to come from this exciting partnership. Take command as either the American colonies or the British Empire and shape the future of a nation, with 10 historical battles. 

You will face tactical challenges with missions of varying size and objectives, and 34 different combat units. As with previous strategy games from HexWar, every effort has been made to capture the look and feel of the warfare methods, equipment and uniform of the day, and this title is no exception. In these battles players will also find the detailed and accurate maps, orders of battle, and named regiments from the well-loved Decision Games board game. 

The hex-based game system features a large variety of infantry, cavalry, artillery, generals and terrain types. Use your combined forces to outmanoeuvre, outwit or outshoot your opponent. Victory awaits you, Commander!

### 3/5 — Fun but not challenging

*2022-10-01*

The scenarios aren’t challenging or balanced, and I don’t just mean winning New Orleans as the Brits, which is impossible if the Americans shoot back even passively. If you’ve played this game system before, once through playing each side and you’re done.

### 3/5 — Eh

*2021-11-25*

Not a bad game, though with only ten scenarios, you’ll be left wanting something more afterwards. Not a bad game, but just not that great.

### 4/5 — It’s a HexWar Game

*2021-09-11*

Does the AI cheat? Does it fudge the numbers in its own favor, to a ridiculous extent? ABSOLUTELY!! However, these things will not be new to you if you’ve ever played a HexWar game. Still fun.

### 5/5 — EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!!

*2019-07-19*

I love war history so much and this enlightened a whole different experience ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️❣️🎂🎂🎂🎂❤️❤️❤️❣️🎂🎂😂😂😊😊🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😉🙃🙃🙂😀😀😃😄👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪🥂🍺🥃🍹🥂🍷🍭🍪🍩🍮🍬🍫🍿🍯🍪🥛🍽🥋🥋🏹🏹🎯🎯🎪⛺️🏕🏕⛺️🏝🏖🏖⛱🌠🌅🌄💸💸💵💵💴💶💴💳💷💰💷💎⚖️🧱⛓🔫💣🧨🔪🗡⚔️🛡⚰️⚱️🏺🔮📿🔮🗝🔑🌡🎎📯📯📯📯

### 1/5 — Wont open

*2019-03-27*

Intro screen and music, and locks up.  Cannot get game to start or to do anything.   Very frustrating.  On iPhone.

### 5/5 — The Best Hexwar Game

*2019-01-14*

The music and atmosphere on this one alone get it 5 stars. It has this odd dark soundtrack that is absolutely wonderful.

Hexwar - please use this musical style for future releases.

Missions are good and avoid the chronic Hexwar flaw of not allowing enough map space to maneuver on the flanks.

Highly recommended!

### 2/5 — Good game

*2018-06-20*

It’s a good game. Love playing this type of game.  This Game won’t let me change formations. Get that fixed and it will be a great game.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2018-03-12*

Thank you I love War of 1812 and American Revolution games and Tank battle North Africa now you have another War of 1812! This looks great! What would make me even happier is a French and Indian war game

### 5/5 — Another hit!

*2015-03-20*

Great game, great graphics, great play. The Americans CAN hit the broadside of a barn... Just  need to have the infantry in the proper formation: in-line for reg inf and open-order for light inf. Firing while in column formation yields the least results!

### 4/5 — Fun game but.....

*2015-03-09*

I truly enjoy the Hunted Cow/Decision Games and recommend you try them.  Be warned thought that in this game in standard and hard AI the Americans can't hit the broadside of a barn and the Brits, Indians & Canadians are sharpshooters and rarely miss. Otherwise it's a fun but occasionally aggravating game.
