Latest reviews of Civil War: Pea Ridge app for iPhone and iPad

Should have
This game should have a third person view where you can control a person and should not have turns
Interesting at first, but...
1. A game is a max of 30 turns. Way too many are required to just deploy Confederate forces near Union forces, a tedious part of the game you can overcome somewhat by saving the game once you are through this march phase, but the turns are still used. 2. I whip the Union forces handily until we are scraping over the final control point. Then, the very outnumbered Union forces become more than a little invincible. Perhaps true to reality of the Confederate forces having to march so far and the fatigue factor, but having to win in 30 turns gives no rest options. Overall fun until it becomes frustrating.
