a slow, methodical turn-based wargame where you carefully maneuver inexperienced troops and outdated equipment across hex grids.

What players say
Players describe a very basic, short, and easy hex-based strategy game that gets repetitive quickly. Some praise it as a relaxing introduction to the genre, while others find it boring and not worth the price. Reviews note performance crashes on high-end PCs and that the game feels identical to other titles in the series.
