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.

Looks real good with good attention to details.

Update: excellent after update! I can see the maps detail better and the colors are real nice. Thank you for the PDF manual! And for not using the eye strain gray font on white background like dumb Corp. America! The look and feel of Skirmish 1944 takes me back to the good ole Grognard days back last Millennium. If you’re into military strategy games, give this one a try. I’m finishing the game I first started and am enjoying it much. Thank you!———————————————————————————————--Looks real good with good attention to details. —— The manual, while being well done in concept, has some issues. Some map examples are too dark to see their details on the setup screen. At least one incorrect illustration was used where the Hex numbers in the text do not exist in the associated picture. I like the 4 types of line of site and armor rating on tanks for front/side and rear armor thickness. Manual would be more convenient if it was also in the app. Will update later after I’ve spent more time playing the board game. Max turns setting could use the ability to also be turned off.

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!

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.

Game is great! Update fixed issues! Anybody who used to play Avalon Hills Squad Leader will love it! Love to see some mor scenarios!

Great game - when it works

Consistently crashes when I load a saved game, which I have to do a lot since I don’t have hours to play through a single scenario. When it works right, it’s great. Will change my rating if/when bugs are fixed.

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
