How it feels
A methodical turn-based wargame that feels like a historical simulation sandbox, where you study maps and command units at a deliberate pace.

What players say
Players call this a bare-bones, simple war game that is fun for the price (free). Many praise its map and general editor and custom content, though some report the flag uploader is broken and has gone unfixed. Players are split: some find it too hard or impossible, while others sink dozens of hours into it.
