### 1/5 — Unplayable!!!! On iPad

*2019-08-28, version 16*

I am an Avalon Hill fanatic, so I had great hopes for this game. However, I’ll never find out. From the minute I loaded it I suspected I was in trouble - NO LANDSCAPE MODE! Making it impossible to view enough of the map without getting a magnifying glass.  Tabs at bottom were unreadable and thus useless.  Do not buy!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t play it!

*2018-11-29, version 16*

Words are too small to read on both iPad and iPhone.  Can’t play the game.

### 1/5 — Freezes at resolution screen

*2017-07-10, version 15*

This app freezes at the resolution screen and then reboots the iPad. Wargame Poland works well. This needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-07-16, version 15*

This looks like a great game. I've played the Poland and Sicily titles and loved them. However, this game won't go past the resolution choice screen - it locks up and forces me to reboot. Please fix it guys - I really want to play this one!

### 1/5 — Won't load, IPAD crashes

*2014-04-13, version 15*

Every time I try to use this I have to pick low resolution, the game attempts to load, then it crashes...  Really wanted it, a few years ago played the PC version, which was a great game.  To bad I can't find out about the IPad version...

### 1/5 — Help!

*2014-01-25, version 10*

Enjoyed Poland 1939. Bought this. Doesn't load. Boo. Please fix and update!

### 1/5 — Does not work!!!

*2014-01-17, version 9*

Do not buy. Not only does game crash but it actually crashes my IPAD and my IPAD has to reboot.  Please fix this or refund my $2.99.

### 1/5 — Used to work, but...

*2014-01-17, version 9*

It was halfway good, but the update of 16 January has killed it: now, it doesn't load on my Retina Mini. Please fix it?

### 2/5 — Crashes always

*2015-09-20, version 15*

Goes about half a turn and crashes. Tried to save often but got to be too much of a hassle. Interesting game wished it worked. iPad Air.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2014-01-25, version 10*

I played two full rounds against the ai. Everything seemed to work smoothly and it is an interesting game. I'm glad to see a wargame come out on iPhone. The mechanics are great and smooth. Unfortunately, after two games the game crashed. When ever i try to open it, it shows the loading screen for abt 10 secs before crashing. Please fix this. Sad to see a good game spoiled by technical issues. Would have been five stars

### 5/5 — AMAZINGING!

*2020-01-28, version 16*

Great game with lots of replay ability. Very few bugs and never crashes. Although my one complaint is that supply is odd and I do not understand it so I have units that are doing just fine that are out of supply so they cannot attack. Overall a great game that is worth the money. Cannot wait for more games by this developer.

### 5/5 — Strategic and historical

*2017-11-13, version 16*

Must buy for military history buffs. This game is huge and has tons of combinations of setups so you can play it over and over. There menu options are very basic and the graphics are low quality but I’ve never had any technical issues.

### 5/5 — Great Wargame

*2016-01-06, version 15*

Won the battle of Sedan with French armor; stopped the fall of France; saved the Belgians with the British Expenitionary; Dutch surrendered too early.  Now I will try the other historically accurate offense and defense plans... Maybe even randomize them for fun. 

One problem: save a lot because it crashes.

### 5/5 — Definitely worth buying!

*2014-09-02, version 15*

The free games were excellent but the scope and replayability for this one make it completely worth the purchase price. I'm a huge fan of all of the games from this developer and have bought them all.

### 4/5 — Good Military Board Game

*2015-07-17, version 15*

A very playable implementation of an Avalon Hill or older SPI style board game.  AI is a reasonably competent opponent.  I've had no technical challenges (bugs, etc.) with this game.  A little more information for the player (detailed post-battle and turn stats) would be helpful, particularly after the opposing player's turn.

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2015-05-08, version 15*

Plays like the Avalon Hill board games from the seventies and the SSI computer games from the 80's.  I'll buy every WWII game that is created.  Needs some background music and a little better view into the AI's turn.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2014-06-24, version 15*

Its a strategically fun game but i cant figure out how to get supplies to the units with no supplies!
