Amazing Game, Mediocre Interface
The game is based on the Academy Games boardgame and is fantastic. This app's interface is only so-so. Most notably, the zoom function does not always work, making it almost impossible to place armies (and this is on a full-sized iPad). When you make a command decision (regroup), the app sometimes hides the number of armies in adjacent areas. and the music in this game is quite repetitive.
That said, the underlying game itself is excellent. I hope the publisher improves the app to make this the
Must have for board gamers!
It has a short scenario for a tutorial on the basic movement and rules of the game. There's also campaign mode with winning conditions that one have to achieve before moving on.
So far it's been fun and also learned about the 1775 revolutions history at the same time.
Haven't tried the multiplayer yet but will soon.
Zoom is a little buggy because at first I thought there was only 1 perspective but if you go to the settings and play around with it, it actually is pretty cool zooming almost 3D
Great implementation of a great board game
This is a well done version of one of my favorite board games. The animations can be a little slow. I hope more scenarios come out for it. It does burn through the battery on my iPad 4.
Board game fan
Plays just like the board game! If you enjoy Academy Games titles and particularly 1812, then you'll love this. Worth the price!!
Really Good, Needs a Few More Options
I would like to have the option for complete domination where you have to completely eliminate your opponent.
I would also like the option to speed up the AI.
iPad Yes; iPhone No
This is a reasonably engaging light tabletop wargame. It’s one of very few apps in that niche.
Its only demerit is a big one: It literally does not work on my iPhone because you cannot see certain in-game buttons.
Screen issue
My only issue is that it doesn’t fit my iPhone’s screen shape anymore since I upgraded; makes it hardly playable anymore.
Other than that, the game is great! Please just fix this.
FIXED: Computer is playing...and playing ... and playing
Latest update has fixed crashing problems.
Fun sub for board game
I have played this board game and others in the series many times with my kiddos. They don’t want to play simple games or the complicated Avalon Hill games I cut my teeth on; this is really a fun, balanced game system that is historically representative. Tactics are subtle and strategy is multifaceted. And fun. We don’t need 30 pages of eight font type rules to have fun.

Love it on iPhone, will not run on iPad mini 1
Amazing game and have enjoyed a lot of plays on myiphone but I can't get it to start a game on my iPad mini 1. Please help.
Improper screen fitting
I give only a bad rating because the app doesn’t fit to my screen, I can never access the next turn button because it’s cut off by my screen. There is no settings in the game to adjust screen size or to fit. I am saddened that I spent my money on a game that I cannot play 😔
PLEASE FIX THIS OR SHOW ME HOW 🙏🏼
