I Like the game.
1. No way to enter the cheat code? Is this even an option?
2. I'm really missing the advanced rules like reform units.
3. How do you rename units?
4. I've only spent about 15min with this game but LOVE IT!!!

Ok I figured out how to rename units. Touch the unit name in the unit stat page.

What about the advanced options? Why was that left out? How can you play someone if the other person has those options but you don't?

So at the end you surrendered to the charms of this baby and bought it to the Brits [:D]
FYI I was in the iPad beta tester team, and have no relation whatsoever with Slitherine nor Matrix [;)]

Advanced options are not available in Multiplayer, so there is no conflict.

They were not left out, just put off till later. Advanced options dialog is pretty complex and we just did not manage to put it into Christmas release. We'll try to add it in the next major update.

1) Where do I go on my ipad to see how much space I have left?

2) If I buy the base game is there an option to get the rest at a discount or will I have to add them separately?

3) If I buy the give me everything option and I want to free up space do I have the option to uninstall some IAP's?

4) Are allied corps and Africa corps separate IAP's? If so, what are the prices in addition to the base game?

I'm very close to pulling the trigger

1) For example, via Settings->General->About screen, see Available/Capacity data fields.

2-4)

IAP purchases look like this (copy from http://www.pockettactics.com/reviews/re ... a-comments):

Give Me Everything : $59.99 (Grand Campaign Mega Pack + Afrika Korps + Allied Corps; individually would be $79.88)
Grand Campaign Mega Pack : $39.99 (all 10 additional campaigns; individually would be $49.90)
Afrika Korps : $14.99
Allied Corps : $14.99
Grand Campaign '39 : $4.99
Grand Campaign '40 : $4.99
Grand Campaign '41 : $4.99
Grand Campaign '42 : $4.99
Grand Campaign '43 East : $4.99
Grand Campaign '42-43 West : $4.99
Grand Campaign '44 East : $4.99
Grand Campaign '44 West : $4.99
Grand Campaign '45 East : $4.99
Grand Campaign '45 West : $4.99

There is no option to individually uninstall content, because it takes very little space. 99% of space is taken by graphics/sounds/effects files, and these are shared between all expansions. For example, even if you don't have Afrika/Allies, you can still accept MP challenges created from these expansions by other people, so all units and tiles specific to Afrika/Allies must be available.

Oh. I thought there was an option for the give me everything from the beginning at 59.99. It's actually 79.99 because you have to buy the app at 19.99 first.

Thanks for the answers.

DLing now. I'll try the base game and then go from there. IMO, a bigger discount should have been offered to those that chose to invest in the whole package. Just my opinion. That is a 25% discount. Am I expecting too much?

Edit. Just noticed that this IAP' cost as much as the PC version. I've never brought up their pricing here before, but man, a little over the top IMO considering many people who will purchase this have already bought the PC version.

That's because PC versions are on Christmas sale now. Their normal prices are higher than for iPad version, and "give me everything" option gives a further 25% discount, so in the end the difference is not so small. Full PzC package for PC costs $120.

Also consider that 10 DLCs at $5 each comprise a big part of the total price, and they are already great value, even by iPad standards.

Appreciate the replies.

I have bought everything for the iPad and for my laptop. I can take my iPad anywhere not so much with my laptop. I spent $80 on this game which is a lot less than I thought I'd pay. It's a great game!!!! Thank you slitherine/matrix for this game. And now I won't be a thorn in your side anymore. I'm really happy with this.
