Peninsular War Battles

One of the best strategy games Great Napoleanic Era representation and easy to learn and play Outstanding graphics too                 Gamer

Ive been waiting a long time for a turnbased strategy game from the napoleonic era This one is amazing Historically accurate great game play but simple enough not to bog down the action Excellent work                 Amazing game

Would like to see more like it No issues with it Work great on my 4S                 Great game

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                 Excellent addition to the series

This is an interesting game set Though not perfect it does do well overall To an old miniature game player such as myself this is a welcome addition and revision to an old game genre History is difficult to reenact with some game systems doing the job better than others Some of the other reviewers were a bit harsh on the mechanics However when one considers the scale some of the mechanics make more sense Not all woods especially those in Spain are anything like the types of woods found elsewhere in Europe The idea was more like an orchard with no undergrowth which allowed vision and transit even by artillery All in all this is a fine game              Napoleonics Lives

What a great game keep it going with more Napoleonic battles and go for WW1 too                 Cest Magnifique

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                 Fun and Historically Interesting

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        Fun game with flaws

I enjoyed watching Sharpes series detailing the Portugal Spainish campaigns This is very similar except in hex form Its very engaging but their is a learning curve especially knowing when to form squares or not                 Historical warfare

This is another Hexwar game that provides the board gamer a very good digital alternative The rules are simple and the action is immediate The graphics are colorful and provide ease in understanding the nature and potential ability of each unit The scenarios are generally interesting and challengingthe games are moving puzzle problems                 Fun games

I love it With all the battles and units its amazing                 Peninsular War Battles

Gives a nice feel for the Napoleonic battlefield Formations are very important Nice graphics and easy user interface                 My favorite Hunted Cow game

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                 Quick engaging Napoleonics

Good interface and solid AI                 Great strategy game

Hunted cow has a host of games in this genre I have all of them and they are all entertaining in their own right But this is my favorite It is easy to learn and the campaigns are expansive It is also challenging without being frustrating I prefer it to their larger and more complex Gettysburg game for the iPad although in fairness my old iPad is a bit overwhelmed by that one and it lags I recommend all of their games in this field but this one is currently my favorite I cant wait till the next of these games is released If you like this game then you should also look at the Civil War lineup and Red Coats and Rebels Gettysburg and Russian Front are considerably larger and have enormous single battles to control I would probably appreciate them more if I had an upgraded platform to play them on                 Another Great Game

Some of the battles are darn near impossible as you have no room for error before time runs out on a battle and it takes a long time to beat the level even on easy as there is no room for one wasted turn as there is only enough time to be perfect so it gets VERY frustrating having to replay the same battle over and over again to miss by one or two turns        Impossible Scenarios

We absolutely love these games I personally have been a faithful follower and consumer since Civil War 1863 We are always excited to see new hexstrategy releases from HC Unfortunately we will not be able to keep up with the large price increases which is saddening In fact we almost feel screwed over I have never complained about prices in the past but a price hike of this size for less content is ridiculous which prompts this review on the behalf of several purchasers At least with former games you could buy new campaigns for a buck or two at a time which allowed you to play the game as you could afford it The former pricing scheme was one of the things that made us such loyal customers You could buy a little at a time Moreover the game was perfect for the former price It was a great buy Although awesome its not worth 10 especially after the content slash fewer battles which end quickly in many cases We never thought wed say this but we feel betrayed as consumers The games are wonderfulfor 399 but not for 999 therefore when the content or playing time increases two or threefold or the price decreases to at least 499 we will unfortunately be unable to continue buying your products                 5 Stars for Playability Zero for Extreme Price Hikes

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           Sharpe Battles in episodic fashion
