1. In campaign mode, you could progress to the next battle even if you lose the current one. It would be cool to see more realistic campaign results based on battles won AND lost. Having to win every battle is pretty artificial.
2. Movement is unnecessarily cumbersome, as units cannot move through each other. This gums up the battlefield as well as game play, and is not particularly realistic.
3. Would love to see a strategic map for a campaign overview.
★★★☆☆Fun little wargame.
Nothing particularly extraordinary here. Your basic 20th century hex-based tactical US civil war game with an adequate AI for what is required of it. Kinda flavorless, in terms of sound effects, special rules and music, and it could have used a good UI pass. But still enjoyable. It's fun to charge the enemy's guns and to drive his army before you. I consider my 2 bucks well spent. If you like the free version, buy it.
★★★★☆Needs a reset
Love playing these games I have all of them 62-65. Only problem I have is that there is no way to reset your progress to zero. It's kinda nice that you can go back and play any level you want. But If you want to replay the game from the start you still have all your progress saved. Makes it hard to keep up with where you are on the play through. Even if you delete the app and reinstall it still keeps your progress. If there is a way to delete the progress I can't find it!! Very annoying bu
★★☆☆☆Limited game play
I really enjoy both 1861 and 1862 , but you purchase them and only get a few extra battles . I spend $15+ tax to add levels on a game I already purchased after testing the lite version. I beat few wars and had to pay again for more wars scenarios in the game I already paid for . Love the game play and set-up but I am not going to blow my credit card to keep purchasing new war scenarios.
★★☆☆☆Very one sided
All battles are pre determined no matter the strategy used by confederates. The Union out number and and are given twice or more the strength of of the confederates.
