Beat each level by conquering the enemy's home node. You have a finite number of move options per turn, so plan ahead. With the correct combination of transfers and attacks, you will outwit your way to victory!

Great game, I don't know if it was just the last level, but lvl 25 just repeats after i beat it.

This is a great strategy game. The simplicity of the graphics and gameplay... both of which have been commented on below... are not to be undersold. They're part of what make the game addictive.
This music is cool, but it can grate. Thankfully, the hand-dandy mute button is right there all the time.

I have a few problems, however.

1- The game seems very easy. I only found one or two levels that stalled me out. Many beat in a single try. it seems to me that the reason for the bulk of the levels being easy are because the AI continuously make stupid moves. It doesn't always go for important offensive moves, and even worse, it often leaves it's home base completely unprotected... even when I've got a force ready to attack... in order to threaten your player from another angle.

2- The game froze of me numerous time, always during the enemy move.

3- The game sometimes suffers from increasingly worsening lag. I don't think it's my connection, because everything else is working fine, and this game is hardly graphics-intensive.

4- I still think you need a tutorial. After level 1, it's not entirely clear that we'll be moving forces around the board in order to capture other spaces and take an enemy base. I had to figure most of it out on my own. Point out that the green circle on the bottom of the screen show you how many moves you have per turn, while the reds show you how many attacks per turn. It's not hard to understand, but it may help some players get immersed in the gameplay faster. This is important, considering that some players will judge the game on its graphics.

its a good game thats for sure but so many maps are practically meant to be stalemates which if you dont catch on to the all or nothing strategy will take eternity to complete would be nice for there to be some kind of story line and sometimes the bot doesnt do anything for its turn and doesnt end its turn either forcing a reset

Graphics may be Simple but the game is addicting... It's the thrill of the strategy... before I knew it I had been playing for over an hour...

Graphics are.... simplistic.
