I just tossed some coin onto the pile. I hope this game gets funded.

Cheers,

It says the game is already a success on Ipad... which for me is a red flag, phone games are typically simplistic

Actually it is comparable to Flat Top or Carrier and even better with the use of computer [:)]

The magic is to have made a complex hex-and-counter wargame fit in a phone or tablet screen. Imagine how he could render on large PC screen with improved graphics using Unity

Controls are simple and intuitives but the game has real DEPTH and historical background

I'd be interested to play more on a tablet than desktop. I already have one very good desktop game, after all! [;)]

The site says the game takes between 1-3 hours. That is quick. Fun, maybe but quick. So depth in a turn based hex game that is such a short duration may not be possible. It also states it has ~80 "units" including CVs, planes, combat ships including the "lesser known" Fubuki-class destroyers! [:D]

I've played some battles recently that have 80 different types of units in one hex! [:)]

Well scenarios takes about 192 phases of 20 min each to complete
The game is a the tactical level and put the emphasize on the decision

As Pocket Tactics said, it does not take ages to mount a torpedo attack on an enemy fleet. Just drag and drop the air unit you would like to commit and watch the airstrip to be prepared, assembled to fly on the area you believe the target is
Combat os also automatized based on parameters you have decided before hand (will you concentrate on capital ships, do you want to spread your bombers to hot a maximum of ships)

You may play a scenario in an evening.
It will depends on your pace and if one of the side get shaved early in the game

Hey all,

To address their legitimacy...

They already have games out that are rather popular...

One of the members of the crew, Phillipe Thibaut, has been a part of games such as Europa Universalis, the AGEod collection including Birth of America, AGEOD's American Civil War, Pax Romana, Great Invasions, and World War I: lla Grande Guerre '14-'18.

You can look up his name in Wikipedia to find out more.

That alone should be enough to convince you...

Remember him from the AGEOD forums and the first AACW game in 2007. Good times.
