Reviews

Tiller's War Games
TLWIS

I've been waiting and looking for a serious hex-based war game for the Ipad for quite some time. This, and the other Tiller games, are great ports from the desk top version. If you've never played serious war games before the learning curve may be steep; this isn't a casual game. However, if you have....enjoy!

Boring
Jeff Richmond

This game is nowhere near as much fun as Tunisia or Bulge. This is pretty much "unleash the NVA horde at the poor Southies." No maneuver or much tactical planning involved. Interesting from a historical perspective to see how much the NVA dominated late in the war.

Resolution problems
Captain Koloth

As with this developer's other apps, the underlying program seems to be good, but this version is crippled by a bug in which the main map is displayed at a very low, fuzzy resolution, much lower than the menus. The developer does not seem to be actively supporting or addressing it.
