How it feels

A deliberate, old-school real-time wargame where you manage and coordinate forces on a minimalist 2D battlefield.

What players say

Players call it a faithful re-release of a 1985 Sid Meier classic, but the lack of mouse support and a working save function means you must play scenarios in one sitting or keep the game paused overnight. Several note the Atari 8-bit version was superior.
