The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming mechanics TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of. If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth chat without the limits of the stores comment system. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you.

Good game and I really appreciate the author producing these. My main criticism that flanking is way too powerful. I have had several divisions, completely wiped out for being flanked by one weak unit. It just isnt realistic. The Allies start well, buten face insurmountable odds with dozens of German Panzer divisions. And unlike in the real campaign, The Allied air power just isnt powerful to compensate for German numbers. I would also prefer unit patch symbols rather than soldier/tank symbols.
Great game I just need some advice I'm playing on normal mode and it's my 3rd run around within a few days and I keep reaching a point where my eastern forces keep getting pushed back and slaughtered on the way while the left side kept pushing in successfully I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I need advice lol
Second of these games I've played. Same flaws. Massively unbalanced. Too many and too strong German units. You just get mobbed. Allied airpower is too weak. If Overlord was really like this the Russians would have taken Paris and 21 Army Group would have been driven into the sea. Hopeless.
Most his games are worth it
Old school turn based strategy game enhanced with a lot of details that would make a board game impractical but that here enhances and add realism to the game. One comment to the developer: consider adding an undo option applicable just to movements, not battle resolution, it is easy to make the mistake to try to select the next unit and end up commanding a move on the current selected unit, other than that very playable. Looking forward to get more games! Great job!
Another fantastic game
All the best parts of the old paper games with their major irritations of set up and keeping track removed.
I enjoy playing all your games. They remind me of some boardgames I played in my younger days.

Some improvements made have made this a better game than when I first bought it. Now that Joni has included an overall Hall-of-Fame, I can measure myself against the best in the world.
