Assault bug finally fixed
PatriotUSA
I had been very close to deleting this game from my iPad, but I am glad I didn’t because the publisher finally released an update that fixes the infamous "assault bug" where both sides would roll sixes every time in close combat. This bug had essentially broke the game since close combat is not only frequent but it also is often game-deciding. As an app publisher myself I was completely mystified why anyone would publish a game of this caliber and then completely abandon it without so much as a bug fix update for over a year. Even if it didn’t sell well, a bug-fix for something as egregious as the assault bug would have been a minimal common courtesy for those who did purchase the game I order to make it playable for them. I’m rating it 4 stars instead of 5 mostly because while the game itself is excellent, I can’t rate it 5 stars given the lack of service the publisher has shown so far. I will reevaluate that rating in the future if this update marks a renewed commitment to this title by the publisher.
It would be 5 stars

but you REALLY need to fix the bug where in assault both parties throw a 6 in the first roll, everytime. It is unacceptable for a boardgame, and I can’t see how it would be hard to fix. The rest of the game is very nice, well done, very fun.
Buggy Mess

15 bucks and I can't even get through the tutorial mission without it crashing every single time. Frustration frustration frustration. Was this not beta tested???
Great game bad start

You are unable to buy content or create an account to play multiplayer. Plus screen pops overlap so you can't access previous ones
Terrific!

This is a terrific game of Hollywood-style WWII combat, easy to learn but offering lots of fun options. It's excellent! My only beef is that a bug won't let me finish the last scenario of the tutorial campaign. I win, but it puts me back to the start screen and thus doesn't award me the prize for completion. This has happened four times now. But so far, the rest of the game seems OK. Well worth the price.
Ouch

The game system has a lot going for it. It's complex and the interface is elegant. There is also a lot of content. Unfortunately it's buggy, and the text translation is distractingly awful. I think the bugs, price tag, and bad translation will turn off a lot of buyers (justly so). However, if the devs address these issues (fast), it will be worth the price tag.
Upside down

How do these things get through QA? Screen is upside down and won't rotate!!
