Excellent game crippled by terrible interface – Commander the Great War Review

As others have said, very deep gameplay. However, I am too often frustrated by the difficulty of moving units, and frequently waste movement points when trying to select other units, but end up causing them to swap places. Having an undo button would solve this and make up for the clumsiness of controlling this many units on an iPad screen. In addition, due to the large scale of the map relative to the iPad screen's viewport, it is extremely difficult to know if you have activated all of the units you have without at least some kind of a warning, and impossible to know when fully zoomed out. While there is a warning for having not activated a single unit of a country, one should be available to warn you also for having not used individual units. I absolutely adore their other title Panzer Corps. If these two features, similar to those from Panzer Corps, were added to CTGW, it would be another 5-star masterpiece in my book. Until this happens, it will be a game with potential, but better enjoyed on a PC. <fingers crossed> :)
