Freezes have been very infrequent, and have been recoverable. The game is quite good as it is, but needs some changes to make very good. There is a lack of communication throughout. Many other games provide documentation on their components. AC would benefit greatly from doing the same. The graphics would benefit greatly from higher quality definition. Also, targets in mountainous terrain is are hard to see. We are given no clue about what factors, and their weights, that go into computing a score. It appears that "killing" a minor units bears the same weight as the "killing" of a major unit.
Great tactics simulator!

My experience in games like this started in college in the 70's; my ROTC friends introduced me to Waterloo, a paper board game with a hex grid, cardboard unit markers, and dice and a results table to tell you who won each unit(s) engagement. Followed that with the great Avalon Hill games like Blitzkrieg (WWII Eastern Front), D-Day, Africa Korps, and Tactics II ( it added nukes!). They were lots of fun, but a complete game could take an entire weekend! Computerizing it as this game does is fantastic! They were good training, for I completed ROTC and served in the US Army as an Infantry officer from '75-'80. Most of that time I was assigned to a mechanized Infantry Battalion in Germany, 22 months of my tour was in the Operations section as Assistant S-3. The gaming experience helped me in that job, as one of my duties was Alternate TOC (tactical operations center) commander. This game and it's companion, Armament 2028 are both great and lots of fun. Have not had any problems so far running it on iPad 1. Highly recommend !

Good, solid hex game. Variety of unit types with their various strengths and weaknesses adds complexity and color to the game. Well worth the cost.
Modern Panzer General, gotcha at end

This is really a pretty nice game. Nice selection of units, solid graphics, and the play system is good. It feels like the old DOS Panzer General with modern interface. The program seems to function fine, no freezes or crashes. The missions are not terribly creative for the most part. You start out with an inferior collection of units and have to claw your way up. The computer player isn't terribly bright, hence it tends to have a lot more than you do. Still, it is a fun game and well worth checking out. This game could really use a manual to explain some of the combat statistics and terrain effects. Also, the game offers in-game purchases, which is minorly annoying, but I think you have to buy extra units and whatnot to stand any chance winning the last scenario of the first campaign, which I think is scummy, and why I'm not giving this game a 5 star rating. Other than that, it's a nice game to have in the collection.
Great...need more campaigns!

One of my favorites! This is a fun and challenging game when played on the hard level. Equipment options improve as you progress up the levels. Battles can take some time which is nice. My only suggestion is to add more campaigns. I would gladly pay for this ability as I have completely run out of things to do with the game. I"m thinking that additional campaigns through an in app purchase would do really well for the publisher.
Bug
Jwvdoxjasi&:!&
At first when I downloaded this it was amazing and really fun! But then, I found a bug. When I opened it up, I started playing on it, and then I couldn't tap my people and move them, so I pressed the play button in hope the bug would stop. It said that the computer was moving its units, but no one was moving. I tied closing it and playing something else, than opening it again, but it's still stuck saying the computer is moving its units. Pls help.

Gameplay is fairly good, even though the lack of any documentation means you have to figure out even the basics, right down to what the attributes of your unit are and mean. However, the AI lacks any real intelligence, and as compensation, usually starts the more difficult levels with tons of units that you basically have to wade through. In addition, you don't get to use the really interesting units until you've captured enemy factories, which are so close to the enemy base that the scenario is all but over by the time the units are ready. At least for the early scenarios. I can't speak for the later scenarios because the AI locks up the game, in my case, on mission 5, and since later missions are locked down until you complete the one before it, your game is over. Speaking of which, while it makes perfect sense for, let's say, a puzzle or an adventure game to lock down later rooms/puzzles, it makes no sense to do that in a mission based combat game. And further, if the game wasn't locked down in this childish way, I could at least have skipped the broken missions and come back to them when (if?) they were fixed. All in all, game play is decent one you figure it out, but from a strategic viewpoint the game disappoints. Company needs a writer for some kind of documentation, and editor to make better strategic designs, a programmer to fix the AI, and an adult to tell them not to treat the nice folks with the money, like kids.
