What players say
Players call this a slow-paced, historically accurate simulation of an obscure what-if conflict between Germany and Spain. The lack of a tutorial and a steep learning curve frustrate newcomers, and some report crashes. Enthusiasts of the era and the Ironclads series appreciate the strategic depth and limited forces, but others find the campaign map confusing and the battles repetitive.
