A poor conversion of a great boardgame. 1-No replay function in a multiplayer game 2-Bug on history box, reported by me to the support team two month ago without any response 3-Bug on the UNDO button, the event cards eventually played are irreparably lost 4-No discard pile, hence I can't verify the cards already played by me/my opponent (absurd in a...

Like the physical version, really gives some useful historical insights into how the actual war was fought. The single-player AI isn't flagrantly stupid, but it's nothing an experienced boardgamer...
This game is criminally overpriced. It's a very simple rendition of a board game. The board game itself is pretty simplistic.
