Nice simple game. Easy to play and understand, but quite hard to master. I played it first in 2016 and got stuck on a mission in the first campaign that I couldn't get through, even on Easy, and abandoned. Tried it again in 2018 with different tactics and after a few attempts I found the right recipe. Now breezing through most missions and enjoying it. I think this is an underrated and misunderstood game. It isn't an in-depth detailed wargame with missions taking days to complete, but rather a light skirmish game with missions lasting under an hour, sometimes mere minutes. And the price is very light too.

This game would be much more satisfying if you were allowed to destroy all enemy units and capture all control points after you have satisfied the objectives for each battle.

Update! After something that developers call 'engine update', the game stopped working on MacOS. There is no possibility to play previous version, so my money is wasted.
That is what really can be called a wargame. No camps/bases, no resources or making new troops, no faster-click-to-win. Small map, some time, terrain, maneuvers and your commander mind. Very refreshing after fantasy/sci-fi games where you need just rush the enemy. There you must be realistic and pragmatic, not dramatically heroic.
Take with -75%. For $1 that's a perfect game!

A simple no frills off-shoot very tactical version of Panzer General. AI is not too bad.. clean interface, very easy to pick up and learn, and fun. Not a huge variety of units but enough to make you think about your tactics. Not a bad game for a cheap price.

Tank Battle: 1944 ... Is not a bad little game. You can get your feet wet here just to get the feel of board game and strategy.
My only complaint is in the single player mode The PC moves the apposing units (way !!!) to fast !! . Bam !! and there they are ... magic ! There is no way to slow them down to make them act and feel like the movements of real tanks.
I do like the game ... its down and dirty ... Love it

Good casual wargame. I personally prefer Order of Battle for a similar turn-based hex grid experience, though.

Not amazing but not bad for the price and suprisingly addictive and very easy to pick up. But yes it's an Ipad port so not overly complex except one or two of the bonus missions which seem damn nigh impossible even on casual! Still plenty of content for a quick 10-30 minute gaming fix for the day if that's all you've got and that's the beauty of this series. 19.3 hrs and I'm only halfway through the content. $10 well spent I'd say!!!!

Unbalanced and unrealistic. Of this series, it's about the worst. Unless you like losing over and over, try one of the others. But give this one a pass.

Nice little game. Personally glad more mobile games are being ported. It's limitations are acceptable to me, given the fact it was written for a phone, tablet, or other "lost-down-the-back-of-the-sofa" device.

What it is: Addictive fun, fast, easy to learn WW2 "hex and counter" turn based wargame.
So I was hesitant to purchase this game as had its origins as an iOs game . I chatted a bit with one of the devs online and wfound out this was not a straight port but a rework. For 10 bucks, I figured what the heck. I am very happy I gave it a shot.
What it has: A very well done UI, quite easy to understand and friendly. Nice graphics. When I started in the tutorial I was reminded of the classic Panzer/Allied General games. The tutorials are very well done and teach you everything you need to know to play well.
A ton of content comes with the game. Over 9 separate campaigns, each with multiple missions. 3 levels of AI make the challenge customizable for all player levels. If you are a wargames expert and want a human opponent, there is a 2 player hotseat mode with 10+ scenarios as well.
The game play is fast, clean and easy to understand. Your units can move and attack (think soldiers and tanks firing on the move) wuth a reduction in their combat effectivness. Cover and terrain are very important for protection and line of sight as the map is shrouded (fog of war).
Overall impressions: I really like this game! I started it up and when I looked up, 2 hours had gone by and I was still having a great time. One of the first games in a long time that I was disappointed when life interferred and I had to stop playing.
Do yourself a favor, get this gem of a game. I know the devs are working on a American Civil War game as well and I am really looking forward to that one as well.
