Like Advance Wars, but missing key features & is buggy

Let me start by saying the game play is good and very AW like. Pros: Love the correct damage percentages on the enemy that are already at reduced power. Vast improvement over AW. Interesting that you can capture territories while inside transport craft Interesting that cities that you have tried to capture remain partially captured until you come back to finish. Cons : buggy program. Game Center gameplay is exceptionally buggy. I can't completely remove all battle animation like I can in AW. No CO powers or COs for that matter. Only a few levels in the campaign mode. Make a second version or make more levels for us. You are on to something brilliant!
Great but needs some work

I normally don't write reviews, but when I came across this game I felt compelled to do so. I should start off by saying that I am a huge fan of Nintendo's Advance Wars so it was nice to come across this nice little alternative. Most of the elements in this game mirror AW and it does a well job by never crashing like many other games on ios. There are no commanding officers in this game, so you don't get the unique powers for choosing different armies. This game is set in the Second World War and you play as the allies against the axis. Very fun gameplay, and also addicting, but a problem with the gameplay to bring up is THERE IS NO OPTION TO SPEED UP THE MOVEMENT OF YOUR UNITS like in AW. Whenever you select a unit and move it to a desired location, your unit chugs along very slowly which slows your turn down DRAMATICALLY. This is why I didn't give 5/5 stars....This should be an easy fix though and it would make me more than happy to see an update resolving this issue. Everything else about the game is awesome though. GREAT POTENTIAL!

We finally have a substitute for Advance Wars. One great aspect of this app is that it's being continually tweaked and expanded. I finished the first version the same day I got it. Fortunately, they keep adding battles. One concern: I cannot determine the best way to get 3 stars for certain battles. Is it the number of turns, the lack of lost units or is it about capturing the enemy HQ? Great game!
Good but needs improvement

Please add fog of war and weather settings for multiplayer. Multiplayer AI is excruciatingly easy, please allow player to increase difficulty. Game play is good, online play is smooth.
Ideas

You should do a pacific theatre. Battleships destroyers aircraft carriers. You guys should also make a mode that you can build maps like the old advanced wars where you can set up barracks ports and warehouses etc. Maybe add some japanese military too. When the skirmish scenes come can you guys change the background so when they battle if youre in woods its in the background or on the street etc. I love the game though. Hope you guys are working on more! Cant wait!
Online play needs some fixes

A fun little game that brings back the fond memories of Advanced Wars. A few terrain maps are uneven in multiplayer mode. But still too soon to tell. Problem in the online head to head play: random "unknown" opponents keep popping up and you can't remove them from the list even if you surrender.
Best strategy game so far

Highly addicted game. Reminds me of advanced wars at GBA. However, the new updates of this game makes lag all the time. Please fix again the bug.
Advance Wars at Last!

Being an avid player of Advance Wars for Nintendo for years, I have anxiously awaited an app along those lines. This is a great first pass!
Awesome Game

Reminds me a lot of Nintendo's Advance Wars. Best style of game like this on the iPad. We'l worth the price. Wish they had more levels or even a second game.
