A slow, methodical wargame where each turn forces careful planning of moves and support across a hex grid.

What players say
Players describe a simple hex-based wargame with a steep difficulty curve, many report it is nearly impossible to win. The game is praised for showing how tough the battle was, but criticized for arbitrary loss conditions, lack of available support assets, and slowdowns from needless visual effects. Crashes during the movement phase are common.
