Community Insight:
Latest update 201 has made this game unplayable. No issues prior to update. Game is slow, leaders wont move, lost all saved games, no more we- cloud saves either. Can no longer speed game up with double tap.
As of 24 Dec 2019, units dont always merge as they used to before last update. Had four successes out of many attempts. Please fix.
This is the brigade level strategy game Ive been looking for. Our one criticism is that the interface is a bit wonky – but this is barely noticeable, and we certainly would not downgrade it for that. The scenarios are challenging enough that you need to study the terrain to win the scenarios by the time limit. The A.we. Is pretty tough.
This has some heavy weight battles and good features. Atmosphere is proper and the recent Arcade-ish animation that has wrecked their other Civil War games has not been applied …. Yet. Beware of that – and block it if it comes or your troopers will be popping around like Super Mario Brothers.
We purchased this app for iphone. Have tried to download app 3 times, without success. There is no support info on app on how to contact the company. Very poor app support.
When you get it to play it crashes in the zoom map/part or whenever it wants. Ours just locked us out wont even boot up anymore. No refunds, buyer beware.
