How it feels

You methodically position your units on a hex grid, weighing terrain and line of sight as you trade cautious volleys in a clean, unglamorous simulation of WWII tank combat.

What players say

Players say the game is a mobile port that plays more like a puzzle than a wargame, with small maps that limit maneuver. The series is criticized for being copy-pasted across titles. Supporters appreciate the 128 scenarios and low price, while some report freezes after beating a level.
