## What is WARS ACROSS THE WORLD?

WAW is a unique strategy turn-based game concept, on a boardgame spirit, which aims at simulating in one single system ALL conflicts throughout the world (and beyond) from Prehistoric times to nowadays, from grand massive wars to asymmetrical conflicts.

The Main Game Features includes:
•	Game is turn-based, using the I GO U GO system, each player taking one side (sides involve sometimes more than one nation).
•	The map is divided into numerous regions, with various terrains and sometimes structures (ports, fortresses, airports ...), and potentially sources of income when necessary.
•	When maintenance and purchase of forces is needed, or to acquire new event cards, a simple income system is activated.
•	Combat units may be from the land, naval or air domains. You will find different types, such as infantry, cavalry, artillery, guerrillas, submarines, flat tops, fighters, elephants, anti-aircraft batteries, etc ... All of which can be combined into different stacks for easy handling.
•	Leaders are crucial in the game, as they have three main usages: first they give bonus to the base combat values of their stacks, second their morale values are use to check victory or defeat levels, and lastly they are necessary to launch attacks on the enemy.
•	Two opposing stacks in the same region generate a battle, which is resolved in a semi-tactical way in two successive rounds. The game automatically calculates the various bonus and penalties of sides, their respective morale levels, allows for event cards play, and they each combat unit of each side shoots simultaneously (in most cases) at the enemy. Losses are taken in terms of hits and panics. The moral level of the initial army affected by the losses and panics suffered, which in turn may lead to rout, pursuit and breakthroughs.
•	Multiple Events Cards packs are granted to each side, that they will use to influence all aspects of the game, such as alliances, income, movement, weather, leadership, number and quality of troops and finally many tactical aspects for the battles. This ensures both a real uncertainty in the game and a great replayability potential.

### 1/5 — Store not working

*2024-06-13*

A year ago I bought over 10 scenarios and I would have given this game 5 Stars, but I went to play one of the games and the store blocks all of my attempts at playing any bought scenarios. If this issue isn’t fixed, I will be losing the $20+ I put in, which is very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Store not working.

*2024-06-11*

I really like this game, however after purchasing new scenarios they cannot download. There is an error saying cannot connect to store. On my other device I installed and reinstalled. The app cannot connect to store and isn’t even able to list available scenarios. At this point I have paid for content which I cannot access, there is no news or update saying server maintenance so as far as I can tell this app is bugged and unplayable for new downloads and cannot in good conscious not warn perspective buyers. If issue is fixed I am more than happy to update my review, been playing this game on steam for a while and have loved having it on mobile. App support link goes to a 404 page as well.

### 2/5 — Good ideas, poor/incomplete implementation, fail game by a good developer

*2024-05-04*

To its credit, it has a comprehensive rule book (116 pgs) available to learn from if you wish. Based on rather lame gameplay in tutorial, bad overall design, & dire warnings of lost purchases in reviews, doesn’t seem worth it to me. With so many titles to try (including more by this developer) I can’t linger on less than greatness.  

Concluding as I began, with praise: despite my low rating for this particular game, I applaud the dev’s ambition and determination to improve their app game-making abilities; as evidenced by widely varied output and really excellent core ideas. Making AN original app game isn't easy; the effort this developer has put into creating so many is truly remarkable. With more refined gameplay mechanics and other technical improvement, the dev has potential to make a truly excellent game in the strategy genre. Their originality is evident in a range of unique titles already. 

In the meantime, players should keep in mind just how hard it is to build and maintain these games, with no guarantee of earning a dime. Support indie developers—meaning both individuals and independent small studios—when/however and with as much as possible, because we’re very lucky to have them.

### 1/5 — Good but very limited

*2024-05-03*

When I got the game I was excited because I finally found that turn based strategy game I was looking for. But when I saw that all u could do was D-Day and Battle of the bulge tutorial I immediately lost All excitement off the game. The only way u can play other games was if u paid for it and that sucked.

### 1/5 — They steal your money and don’t give you anything

*2024-03-16*

I paid for Bulge 44 and received nothing. The base game won’t update. I shoulda known something was a-glitch when they haven’t updated the app in nearly four years!

Do not buy. They’ll take your money and give you nothing in return.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2023-12-26*

The game is dead and developer abandoned. You cannot reach the store to make purchases or restore previous purchases. No updates to fix this issue. The game was an enjoyable pass time while it was operational, but now it will be deleted.

### 2/5 — Unable to reload

*2023-12-21*

An enjoyable game, and I’ve purchased many scenarios. But I had to delet and reload the app, and now can’t reach the store, or reload any purchased scenario.

### 3/5 — Unable to reload

*2023-12-17*

An enjoyable game, and I’ve purchased many scenarios. But I had to delet and reload the app, and now can’t reach the store, or reload any purchased scenario.

### 1/5 — WILL NO RESTORE PURCHASES AVOID!!!!!!

*2023-12-04*

Played and loved this game for about 2 years only to come back and find all my maps I’ve purchased are gone and the game refuses to restore no matter what. It always says it’s the internet but that clearly is not the problem. Reading a few of the reviews led me to find that this has actually been an ongoing problem with this game for at least 3 years which is absolutely ridiculous .

### 5/5 — Delay on promised game.

*2023-09-11*

When can we expect the Easter Rising to be available for purchase?
