“This is way too fun of a game in my opinion. It's like I'm a kid again playing with legos and pantomiming imaginary battles, but it is an actual game and the soldiers can act on orders on their own. The building menu,…”
“This game is so awesome and well optimized!!! It runs incredibly well and making scenarios is awesome! I think the animations and gunplay should improve, as playing as infantry is pretty bare bones. Besides that, TONS…”

“definitely the top of its genre, it can feel boring at times, but somehow i keep coming back it's worth the price”
“Very fun, obviously there are a few features that could be added, but overall definitely worth the price”
“I do really enjoy this game. If you like bf1 and the feeling of charging in a massive group buy this game. you only really have ww1 troops to play with but it is still really fun ( I think there is a ww2 mod) but you…”

“I personally don't enjoy it as an RTS and FPS guy. If you're interested go buy Easy Red 2. It's more fun and has better graphics and gameplay, with a cheaper price, and WAY better devs.”
“Not my cup of tea; while I'm fine with singleplayer sandboxes of the likes to Vietnam War, Easy Red 2, etc. This game just felt like a mission editor to mess around in more than a game to play in. I ended up refunding…”
“Definitely not a complete game here. That isn't to say there are broken things here. The menu works, but it's the same menu from the initial EA release. The troops walk towards one another and shoot, but it seldom feels…”

“The so-called "1.0" still feels like early beta; so much that can be added and improved. And the scenario creator is no better. I assigned a large amount of defenses to Red Team, made sure several times that all of…”
“Rather dissapointing which is a shame because I do not see many games trying to cover the Franco Prussian War. but nothing about the depiction of that time period in this game is really authentic save for the uniforms…”

“!READ BEFORE YOU BUY! The only reason I am going to say what I am about to say is because of the price and how it is marketed. This game is rough. The sound design is atrocious, the gameplay is clanky, the AI could not be more unintelligent if you tried, and the deployment /…”
