Older game but still fun with a lot of options

Sept. 2024

I actually cant recommend the game, but I cant say it's bad Game has a lot of bad and good and I would say my view on it is mixed First of all is game overall is good, you can play a lot of maps not with just infantry as in john tiller games, but also ships and planes, you have great battle and supply system which made actually good, it's not too complicated as in gary grygsby games, and not too simple as in john tiller games. But all not so perfect, and not perfect I mean is PO, it can just stop pushing you even though they are completely winning, they can attack your airfield with AA, loosing tons of their planes and get just zero of yours round by round, they can move their ships here and there before your coastal guns and just being destroyed, simply not attacking weak points and attacking strong points, and I'm talking about PO on strongest difficulty Another thing is not all maps playable, some of maps simply not designed to play against PO, so most of the maps what I was really hyped for were not playable And last thing is balance, I mean I know it might be some kind of realism where strong side is stronger and weak side is weaker, but in such game you expect something more, it's not so easy to notice, and I wont call it something bad, but still wish game let you have some variety to play even as weak side Good points: A lot of maps, a lot of war theaters, great supply and battle mechanics Bad points: not so smart PO, not all maps are playable solo, small variety of units

Great game to play. But if you ever want to create own of battle. Well the editor is just built to piss you off. Creating a map. That is overall fine. A few things that would be nicer. But at least you can do it. But creating a order of battle. Well it's just designed to piss you off and make you quit.

Good for beginner , with many scenarios from different era makes it has a high playability, but the editor is quite buggy , plus its design is inhumane which means you are gonna suffer a lot when you want to make your own scenario

Watched some of the scenarios online, like Dien Bien Phu and Chosin and just had to give it a try. Great game for turn strategy games' enthusiasts!
