$20 and now can’t play!!!!

I’ve had this for a while, purchased it a couple years ago (pretty sure it was $20 ). Played it, enjoyed it but last week I got a new iPad 2018 and now I’m not allowed to play it anymore. The icon is there, it’s on my iPad, but it won’t launch....it won’t work on iOS 11! Now if it were a 99Cent game it wouldn’t kill me but when a AAA premium price IS Payed the consumer has certain expectations, meaning I expect ,at the bare minimum , updates to make the game functional when new hardware is available. C’mon there’s only iPad, and iPad Pro now....definitely makes me consider premium prices differently, the developers can pull plug anytime and there’s no recourse. UPDATE TO MAKE GAME WORK ON IOS11

Great upgrade from the initial BA

WOW. This is wonderful and such a pleasure to play. I really like the added features.

Top notch

BA and BA2 are among the priciest apps on my iPad. They are, however, worth every penny. The AI is challenging enough and the PBEM system creates infinite diversity. I am a happy camper hoping for BA3, the Pacific theater in the future.

Excellent Sequel

This is an excellent sequel to an already terrific game. There are many nice refinements that make playing even more enjoyable. I'd love to see them make a "Cold War gone hot" version. Great job. Best war strategy game on iOS!

Like ASL on iPad

For East Front grognards that grew up on Squad Leader this is everything one could ever hope for in terms of squad level ww2 infantry combat Loving attention to little details takes this to a new level in unlocking iPad's potential for war gaming

Battle academy 2

Pretty impressed with gameplay. The random generator could be cool except apparently the only tanks issued in the German Army were Tiger 1's and they've been equipped with modern M1a2 Abrams fire control systems. Always tigers, really? Out of all the vehicles in the German army the game only buys the rarest? And they always hit on the first shot after moving? And they always shoot before the defending troops???? I guess the Russians just take a snooze and miss put every time the 87 ton noisy tanks show up. Neat game, slitherine should hire a historian to help with their force selections though.

No better substitute on iPad platform

I have skipped the predecessor to this game, but I've been very familiar with most of the titles of Slytherine/Matrix in past years. No ways about it - I am thoroughly impressed by BA2. The setting is excellent, giving an opportunity to recreate some of the most iconic battles of the war. Visuals are solid, and the mechanics robust. AI is decent as well - in my first full skirmish I got solidly trounced by it, second game was a close win, third was a repeat of the first. There is a lot to learn here - for example game allows to play forms of delaying action, giving an opportunity to slow down superior forces, and that is something that must be mastered in order to prevail in many of the matches. Units are greatly varied and distinct - feeling the wrath of a T-34 in 1941 is harrowing trial by fire and demands utmost tactical mastery to solve, to give an example. Whole game demand care and planning, but the payoff is most gratifying. Skirmish mode, with its great variety of features is, in my opinion the best feature of this game - it gives essentially an endless variety of scenarios and maps to toy with, beside the initial offering in the campaigns. And can go on, but what you need to know is if you were looking for WW2 TBS with due depth and breadth - congratulations THIS is it.
