Really good game. I like the mix of history and your own choices. It makes for a really fun game. I just wish that each and every time you start a new one, you don’t have to go through the tutorial. This just gets a little repetitive after playing a few times. I also wish that you could pay for the amount of troops you want. I pay the 100k for the 300 men when I only need 50 and the rest go to waste. I know this might be to much to ask, but I also think it would be cool if the cards could allow you to start campaigns to. Say if you draw a card that allows you to advance on Montreal or attack a British encampment. I feel like adding a little more freedom to the campaign and allow you to play the war as you want.

Being an old-school, hex and counter wargamer, I have learned to have low expectations when it comes to iPad wargames but this one is really good. You are making decisions on the course of the war while hoping you can keep the Revolution alive long enough to win.The game presents you with a situation and you choose how to deal with it. Sometimes (like fighting battles), you decide what to do and then you do it. Other times, you are dealing with the Continental Congress and you all vote to decide what you will do.All in all, the game is a very good educational tool for learning about this conflict and you can play the British too, if you want. Recommended!

I finally just beat this game after almost a year of off and on playing. It wants you to really balance your stats to ensure longevity. Always think about both choices at Critical moments, although if you are doing it right you will often have one option. You will also have to move your armies around quite a bit to be effective.This game makes you analyze the events and choose the proper course of action. Same with combat, I like how the moves can interact with the opponents in different ways.I like the update so far, it adds to the learning aspect. A few things that I noticed: When topping off on troops, I think that you should only be charged for what you need. The 300 standard is fine, but if my army requires less than that, I want to pay the correct price. I was surprised to hear that this game was made by an educational institution rather than an independent studio. Everything is of amazing quality and I cant wait to see future updates

Fantastic political simulation that falls short because it gives the British historical numbers but not the American forces. You can only bring two generals to a battle and most of them are capped at 1000 men. Washington can have only 4000. The really odd part is there is a total army available amount on top of the screen which probably is too many. But not enough army space with the generals to use them. I am not suggesting that Washington should have enough men to stop Howe from taking New York but when 1777 rolls around even if you have been keeping your armies as close as you can to maximum you will not have anything close to the numbers that Washington had to counter Howe’s Philadelphia campaign and Gates had to fight Burgoyne.The battle system is a bit goofy too. Taunting an enemy is actually one of the ways to score a some hits on the enemy. But I could live with that if they fixed the army cap numbers.If someone has lasted past 1777 I would like to know how. :)
