Description

HexWar Games has partnered with Plastic Soldier Company to bring you a digital version of Commands & Colors: The Great War board game. The game allow players to portray important engagements throughout WWI history. The battles focus on the historical deployment of forces and important terrain features of trench fighting in scale with the game system.
The scale of the game is flexible and varies from battle to battle. For some scenarios, a few infantry units may represent an entire wing of a larger battle, while in other scenarios a unit may represent just a few brave soldiers going over the top. The Command card system drives movement, creates a “fog of war” and presents players with many interesting opportunities; while the battle dice resolve combat quickly and efficiently.
The Combat cards add an element of suspense and will challenge players to coordinate their use in a timely manner. Overall, the battlefield tactics players will need to execute to gain victory conform remarkably well to the strengths and limitations of the various types of WWI units, their weapons, battlefield terrain, and written history.
Key Features
- 15 scenarios set during the most infamous battles on the western front
- Over 50 unique combat and command cards to simulate tactical and strategic choices

Great game

Wildrat on

United States

This is one of the best games out there. It is the only game I could find on the World War I. I hope they expand and add armor and air units.

Awkward interface but good game.

Squidman15 on

United States

I’m a veteran/fan of both Memoir 44 and Battlelore, so am quite familiar with the C&C system. Even so, expect to muddle around the first few playthroughs as the interface is unintuitive and there is no tutorial. The interface is suboptimal with very small font not the cards, no easy reference for units/terrain, and slow animations between moves which can’t be turned off. That being said, this is a faithful reproduction of the board game, which is well designed.

Enjoyable game

So far I'm enjoying this quite a bit. Takes a bit to get used to some of the nuances of how the game works in the app itself. Certain,y it's ripe for expansions to include more scenarios and weapons.

Nice work Hexwar

Edit April 29th - new patches still coming out making the game even better. Fellow Fans - please get out to IOS game review sites and support the game vs shallow reviews. Let's keep it alive and viable for the Tanks expansion ! Some bugs to iron out as previously noted. But games like this and Arnhem really show the company stepping up to a new level. - Now just create a v2 engine for ancients warfare that uses facing and advanced routing rules and you'll rule the mobile strategy arena. ;)

Buggy

I have yet to finish a game without either an outright crash or some minor glitch.

Needs Work

Love the game series... but this one is pretty buggy to the point where I become rather dissatisfied with the play. Waiting for an update.

Crashes and Sticks

RemarkT on

United States

I like the concept of this game and it is fun when it works. I do not think I have ever seen a game crash and get stuck more than this game. It happens in every scenario and any number of reasons. Fix it and I will change my rating. For $8 you can have a game that works.

Meh....

Himmelstoss66 on

United States

The board game is one of the best out there, and if you can muster to find one online , it's a must buy! The conversion into digital is not so much fun. As mentioned in other reviews are there numerous bugs that hamper a possible mega fun gaming experience on screen. As it is the same with the pic version, a solid support by the developers is close to none existent. This is clearly just a quick try to make some money back for them. That said do I still like it in a strange way, but it might be just due to the fact that the board game is so much fun. I do not have my hopes up for them to patch anything, so stay clear of waisting $8 and try to find the original.

Good start-needs more work

Ward86 on

United States

The game is excellent! Easy to play and faithful to the board game version. However, a patch is needed ASAP to fix the nonfunctional command cards. Once that is done, this will be a five star game, for sure.

Awesome port of the board Game!

SgtKelso on

United States

I'm a big fan of the board game and this is a faithful recreation of that. I'm glad they waited for the kinks to be worked out in the PC version before they ported to the iPad. Feels just like the board game with the added attraction of the animations and the ability to zoom down to trench level. A very immersive game. I definitely recommend it.
