Pros and cons of Peninsular War Battles Gold app for iPhone and iPad

Peninsular War Battles Gold app good for

Exactly what I was looking for. Great round based strategy game.
I have played and enjoyed most of your games. This one is your best effort yet. An excellent game. I love the riflemen.
The culmination of what Hunted Cow has been doing for years. Easy to dive into but hard to master. Well worth the money.
Great fun turn style strategy game. I wonder if the hand to hand combat is a bit overpowered at times but once you get a hang of unit strength its fun game! Itd be great to see two player options controlling both sides or in a new game. These guys out out great stuff with great graphics!
Entertaining game with a good number of scenarios. Nice mix of "different looks" too. No stability issues.

Some bad moments

A nicely made, straightforward, and enjoyable Napoleonic wargame, with lots of battles, each of which you can play in a half hour or so. I hope the do more of Napoleons campaigns outside of Spain!
Well, I have to say that the developers have listened to their customers... After the first civil war game, I suggested a Roman Legion, Greek Phalanx, and Napoleanic version. We have excellent versions of all of the above!! This version brings out the best of horse and cannon tactics. Bravo. Now, a maritime: sailing vessel, dreadnought, and WW2 Solomans series, please!
What a great game - keep it going with more Napoleonic battles and go for WW1 too!
Immersion: Combat, and to a lesser extent lets call it, time period because the game doesnt have a set story, just a series of events to play through. Difficulty: As with any strategy game there is a learning curve built in. Different units have different stats, and so forth to learn. The interface works well enough, and doesnt overly contribute. Lasting Appeal: Difficult to say, this is where the lack of a sense of progression lets the game down. Battles are discrete tactical puzzles, and while there is a sense of accomplishment in progressing to the next battle, it doesnt have an effect on a map or in a narrative. Its something the series is lacking, in my personal opinion. .
If you like their games, this one is an new twist with different and historically accurate tactical changes in how it works. It is fun to play with a wide variety of different battles requiring differing strategies. The automated intelligence of the opponent is a bit weak. Troops often leave strong defensive positions to attack or put themselves in poor positions.
This game of the Napoleonic era battles in Spain and Portugal is a lot of fun to play, but it has some serious flaws in its mechanics. For example, mounted cavalry can charge troops in buildings or go through one hex of woods to charge into another hex. When the designers get things like this fixed, the game will deserve a higher rating.
