Russian Front for Android

I enjoy hexwar games. I have most of them available from the app store. this is a great concept, but its movments are slow and not easy to control. I am comparing this to the other hex war games i have. it really could use some work. I deleted it from my computer.

The computer side plays too slowly unlike other hex games there is no way to speed up the opposing side. The longer number of turns gameplay mode is the same as the shorter stopping play at the same number of turns

I think this is a very good game that could be better. For the money is a highly playable and enjoyable game. There are some minor problems like the combat factor of units being hidden under the floating names of victory point cities. My main complaint is that the German Army, especially in the late-war Begration campaign and scenario, is just too powerful as compared to the Red Army. This may simply be a way to make the game more balanced and I get the need to do that, but there are ways to do that without making German units more powerful than their Russian counterparts in a manner that is ahistorical. You could add some leaders to both sides for example, or throw in some some specialized units like Russian artillery divisions that could aid both Russian attackers and defenders or on the German side Tiger battalions which would likewise help the Germans on offense or defense. You might also add some elite units like German SS and Russian Guards units to add some variety and variability to the game. Giving the players some way to choose where and when to deploy units like this would also be a big plus. All this being said, even with no changes I look foward to more expanded games like this one from HexWar.

I have sensory issues. I can’t deal with flashing lights, zooming, etc. Although there’s an option to disable animation, it doesn’t actually disable all the flashing animation. And there’s *no* option to disable zooming and use a simple two-dimensional scroll-by-scrolling map. I would like to play this, but it needs major accessibility fixes.

It’s worth the money. The graphics aren’t too bad and the music and sound effects are fine. Gameplay is fun. It’s a classic hex turn-based game. You take turns maneuvering and attacking the opposing side, defending cities, and trying to cut off their supplies. The downsides: * It would be nice if you could see where movement was allowed when you select a unit. * It’s a little confusing why you can reinforce an infantry unit with armor and vice versa. * It doesn’t appear that you can control what units your cities spawn nor see when they’ll appear. Looks like there’s some more work to be done there. * I’d also like it if you could select a unit and say “stay here” so the “has movement left” indicator goes away — it’s a good way to see what units have movement points left, but if you don’t want to move a unit it’s distracting. * I’d like to be able to merge and split up units, since sometimes I end up with lots of thinly reinforced units. It’s worth four stars. I think it could be worth 5 eventually.
