Best military strategy game
rumboloj
Glad it’s been updated. I’ve won all battles without any upgrades.
Good not great- 3.5 stars.

I enjoy the game. However, I wish that you could recall experienced units from previous scenarios. That would provide continuity within the campaign. Also would like to see field repair units and ambulance to heal / repair units behind the battle site.
Problem

Game won't let me select units, move them, attack, or select buildings. IPod touch 2nd gen with iOS 4.2.1. Please fix. Will give 5 stars.
AI Update is a disaster.

Updated Assault Commander: Ultimate and Armament 2028 were the two best turn-based, hex board strategy games available, in my opinion. If you read the description (above) you will see I highly recommended them. The AI update has turned them into frustrating to play and extremely difficult to win, even in the easy mode too many times. I do expect to lose games some times, but in my opinion this is ridiculous. I'm housebound and play these games a lot. The AI has gone from being a little heavy handed in favor of the AI to being blatantly pro AI. Some of the quirkier things I have noticed since the AI update are: - Original campaign/map 8/End game. This has always been a challenging map to play, but before the AI update, it could be won even in the hard mode. Since the update, I have played about 16 games in the easy mode and have not been able to win one. In one game, 6 strategic bombers were attacking the human forces at once. All the resource producing buildings are now guarded, usually by infantry and another unit, which makes you have to eliminate the AI infantry before you take the building. By the time you have done that the cruiser and air planes have eliminated your unit. This map is a waste of time to play in my opinion. - Even if you meet the stated winning condition of eliminating all AI units, occasionally the AI chugs along how ever long it takes for it to gain enough resources to create a new unit. This continues until you capture the headquarters. - AI armored cars can shoot at and reduce the strength of vessels in the water. Human-controlled ones can't. - Three human-controlled missile soldiers (brown), all of which are full strength (10) and have some experience, versus one AI missile soldier (blue), whose strength is 7. The three brown soldiers all attack and each loses one strength point. The blue soldier loses none. - Occasionally blue units refuse to be eliminated until one more turn goes by no matter how many units you have attack the blue unit. The strength bar decreases to almost nothing, but the unit isn't eliminated even if attacked a few more times. - AI units occasionally move twice in the same turn. - AI units occasionally attack and then are allowed to move. - Two full strength fighter bombers attack an AI armored car, but it only loses one strength point. There are other things which aren't 'right', but I've typed enough. If you reset the AI back to the way it was, I'll be back to 5 stars. New game planned?

Very playable game, a little slow, many scenarios. Simple to learn, computer opponent isn't very smart, but has resource advantage. Overall a very good turn based war game.
Good basic wargame
Tecdvr
Good turn based war game. Basic and straight forward. Not as good as panzer general on pc was but good.
Problems

There are limited descriptions of unit capabilities, and there are two unit types that I have never been able to use for an attack. No matter how many turns they sit, and regardless of the number of spaces between units. It says 2, but that isn't correct. Meanwhile the AI uses the same unit from 5 spaces away.
App is awsome
Oh really naow???
Insanely fun challenging; last levels are difficult but with in app purchases they are easy. Plus you can put the ai on easy and beat it without paying great game 10/5 stars
Love it but crashes

Great game but seems to crash on my ipad2 had to download again to fix and another crash?!?
Campaign 1 Mission 5 Territories

This one mission still freezes at times on the iPad (2 & Mini) at different points in the game on the Easy level. It gets to "Computer is moving its units..", then nothing. Booting the iPad doesn't help. The game does complete sometimes. This has been happening for the last few updates. It happened on iOS5 and now iOS6. I haven't seen this issue with other missons/campaigns.
