Very good.
fun
As with most games from Hexwar there's no messing around 'building your empire', you just get straight into battle....marvellous.
Reminds me of the glory days of my youth, playing Avalon Hill's "Panzer Leader/Blitz". Not quite the same as facing someone across the table, but a decent time-waster. What better praise can there be?
I loved this game. Almost 60 hours of fun. Yeah, it's sort of 'Strategy Lite,' but that's OK for me. The war in Africa is a great setting for a game and this title does not disappoint, I swear I had sunburn after the first 20 hours or so.
I played the game on Standard difficulty, and it was just right for me - challenging enough to not be boring, yet not so hard as to be a pain in the butt. I personally chose to play it with 'Historical Mode' turned on, it made the AI just a little bit smarter without making it bulletproof or anything.
OK, here's the honest truth about the challenge of 'Standard' difficulty: several missions were a little straight forward, even on the easy side, but then you hit upon some that, in my opinion, were really quite tough, and took a few attempts to complete.
However, the game has replay-ability. I liked it enough I could see coming back for 'Hard' difficulty. I probably would have right away, but I decided to move onto another title in the series, Tank Battle: Eastern Front. As much as I loved North Africa, I think I love the Russian setting even more, though I am only about 10 or 12 hours into it so far.
Also, when you complete a mission, you are rewarded with 2 or 3 medals. I only earned 2 many times, I could see replaying some missions to go for that 3rd medal...
I suppose I should mention I am a bit of a HexWar Games veteran: I've played 2 of their American Civil War games, and also Ancient Battle: Alexander, as in Alexander The Great. I've enjoyed all of them :)
I would recommend this game for the casual war game strategy player. The game has varying levels of difficult. The AI can be a little predictable at times. The game is a straight forward, simple, hex (war) game.
tactically accurate
I bought the whole civil war series which is awesome by the way now i'm starting on the Tank Battle series which is also a awesome series! Great games!
Purchased the game tonight, not a bad little game.
I hope it has some large maps. Not as big as Desert War 1940-42 mind
Take command as the British Commonwealth and U.S. forces fight the Germans in the North African theatre and lead your battalion to victory in challenging tactical battles.
If you are looking for historical accuracy then this will be a stretch, but if you want a fun game, easy to play with some interesting challenges then I recommend you pick it up! For the cost you are getting your moneys worth for sure, at least in my opinion. Look forward to expansions or different theatres of Operations!
Don't expect much in this game
TANK BATTLE: NORTH AFRICA is a fun and very easy to get into wargame. It plays like tabletop wargames of the late 80s and 90s with different ranged fire depending on the unit firing, lethal artillery which can take out a whole unit of infantry with one doom delivering salvo, line of sight and environmental defensive cover. Having the terrain look deceptively peaceful only to move my infantry over a hill and see three or more enemy tanks suddenly appear in the distance is thrilling and fear instilling as my infantry scramble back down the hill into any thick patch of woods for cover.
Music has a 1990s midi feel to it making it relaxing to listen to while motivating me to keep on playing. Sound effects put me into the bomb blasted bullet scarred battlefield with the sound of tank treads and infantry marches going ever forward to victory. At any minute i expect to hear, ' Its A Long Way To Tipperary' by John McCormack playing over the air waves. Oh but wait a minute that was.. another war.
Graphics are well done with a sharp crisp detail and the finest tabletop cardboard piece quality coming to life with fluid animations. I especially like the marching infantry.
TANK BATTLE: NORTH AFRICA for those such as myself who enjoy the likes of Slitherine's epic BATTLE ACADEMY along with many a 1990s classic on pc such as THE PERFECT GENERAL this is a must buy that will bring endless gameplay and tense strategic joy with a sweet release akin to the climax of lover's coupling.
If you enjoyed "Tank Battle 1944", or the "Battle Academy" series for that matter, then you'll have to add this to your library. With "Tank Battle: Pacific" no doubt to come, it's a turn-based strategist's Golden Time.
Incorporating additions made to previous HexWar games, with a zoom feature now added the battles are turn-based and the decisions played out in real time. With HD graphics improving on the looks from the IOS version, the game tackles the rugged and sand covered battlefields of North Africa in 1943. With an 8 part tutorial, the game depsite being a mobile port, which is now a common and sometimes popular choice it, feels more like "Battle Academy" than simpler titles such as "Frontiline: The Longest Day" or"Road To Moscow". The maps are just smaller, and the AI not perhaps as viscious even on Hard. It will give you a challenge, though.
Just don't go expecting "Panzer Corps", "Unity of Command" or a remake of "Steel Panthers".
As with the previous title "TB: 1944", the game focuses on one front, the North African front where the USA and Great Britain fought the German Afrika Korps (as did our boys, the ANZACS who usually always get left out, but proudly adopted the intended insult with the German label "Rats of Tobruk"). While you may at first think you have quite a strong force to take the objectives, you'll be often surprised at having 3 Panzer III's suddenly arriving to block you from three sides. That's Rommel for you, not a cheating AI. Then again, you will often have off-map air and artillery support so it all balances out.
The graphics are seviceable, with my only gripe being the Allies having their units 'painted' in European green (even tan and blue would have been more historically authentic, even if it were only the British who sometimes used that scheme). Might help distinguish Axis from Allies, but if you're a history buff you'd do that by looking at the unit up close. Besides, your units are highlighted with each term. Still, a monor gripe.
The price point is right, and if you are in the mood for a strategy/tactical turn-based game and have any interest in this period, and don't want to spend the extra dollars Slitherine/Matrix demands for it's titles. Then again, if you are totally opposed to mobile ports, which is a bit strange in this day and age (move with the times, or stand still in the past) then it won't be for you, no matter the quality.
If though, like me you enjoy mobile ports like this that fill that important niche where games lasting no longer than 15-20 minutes fit well with real life demands...grab it.
EDIT: I really don't understand people rating reviews as "funny" when they aren't especially. Weird!
