How to ruin a great game

This was the game that brought serious wargaming to the iPad. This was the model of how good a new platform could be and how to leverage that. For inexplicable reasons, Slitherine took this marvel and re-wrote it as total junk. If you saved your pre 2.0 version, good for you. I wish I had.

No sound

No sound in my app on ipad, works on iphone. Ive checked all settings, deleted and re-downloaded, etc. I e-mailed support 4 weeks ago and have not yet received reply, so my review gets posted. Sad that they take my money for a defective product and theres no recourse. Thats why Im reluctant to purchase apps for more than a dollar or 2.

Slimed by Slitherine

I knew when Shenandoah Studio was forced to sell out to Slitherine that this would end badly for this series of games. Bulge is the first casualty. Drive on Moscow and Desert Fox will be next. Have already deleted Bulge. Sad.

From 5 stars to 1

The latest update to this wonderful game is so debilitating it motivated me to write my first iOS review. What was a top-notch wargame has been reduced to a glitchy mess thats three times as slow. Ive seen some questionable app updates before, but never one so comprehensively poor. Do not buy or update until fixed.

Wow...

Wow, with the update they managed to ruin a game that I had previously enjoyed.

DO NOT BUY - RUINED GAME

The Sep. 2015 update RUINED this game, which previously was, in my view, the BEST game app in the Apple Store. It is now unplayable.

Battle of the Bulge

Hey, thanks for taking a five star game down to one. You should work for the US Government now. Ill make sure not to update Drive on Moscow or Desert Fox until you fix BB.

Turning a classic into dung

So much for the vaunted multiplayer additions. NOwhere to even have your password reset!

Questionable update

Um, why was the interface for iPhones totally removed?! That makes zero sense, and the iPad interface that is now on everything is impractically small in most cases. Please revert this dubious change!

Great game before update

Easily a 5 star game before the "update" which shoehorned a PC interface onto a mobile game and riddled the game with bugs making the multiplayer portion completely unplayable for me.

They broke it!

This was a great game. But this new version has broken it on the iPhone.

Worst Update Ever

This used to be one of the best War Strategy games out there. Now you cant even complete a game without it bogging down and then freezing up. Whoever okd something this incompetent should be fired. Dont buy this game until it gets fixed.

After update, game freezes

This was an awesome game, after the update, it now freezes up when it is the computers turn to move. Very disappointing. How do I get a refund?

Ripped off

This was the kind of update that brings to mind the word refund. Who let this mess out the door at Shenandoah?

Ripped off

Slitherin took over Shenandoah and sabotaged their formerly 5 star game. Would really like a refund for what is now a stinking pile of garbage

Everythings OK again

The last update fixed the impermissible lag, and the game functions just as amazingly as it did before. iPad 3, latest iOS as of this post.

The game is still ruined

The latest version still relies on the clumsy play-by-email solution. Multi-player is painfully slow and irritating enough that you just want games to end. Graphics and motion dont render cleanly. There are multiple game rules bugs involving movement, retreat, armor exploit, road function, British unit early movement, and score keeping.

Can move units?

Difficult to understand. The help menu need better instruction on unit movement.

Terrible update AGAIN!

I have this game on an iPad 2. Since the update of December 9, I havent been able to complete a single game. Ive been trying to play "The Bitter End" and the game freezes during the AI movement or reinforcement phase. This happens every time. Definitely not worth the purchase price for new users.

Why?!

Why have the updates ruined a fantastic game?!
