Suggestions for iPad version

[Fed]

1) Please include the rules (like how far can the enemy tanks shoot).  Maybe a PDF for download or something.  This is a wargame, not a video game.  The game itself doesn't it have adequate help or support.  It is quite complex.

2) Please get rid of the flashing hand and the overlying text on the units.  They are VERY distracting, and really interfere with an otherwise very cool looking field.  At least add an option to turn it off. 

3) Put choice of what you want the unit to do (ie move and confirm) off to the side.  Maybe on the top right for choice, and top left for confirm.  The way it is now is slow,, annoying, and prone to making the wrong move by accident.

4) I'd like a way to play two player, on the same iPad.  Head to head.

I the presentation was changed in this, or some other way that works, I would have to give this app a 5 star rating.

Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback. It's all useful!

1 - The next update includes detailed info and tooltips for players who want all the numbers. The game wasn't designed to overwhelm players with stats, but some players definitely prefer them.

2 - I'm not sure what you mean by flashing hand or overlaying text. Do you mean the promotion animation and the "Suppressed" etc text?

3 - I can't visualise what you are suggesting here.

4 - You can do this already, via the multiplayer system. Simply start a multiplayer game and accept it yourself. You can then pass the iPad back and forth each time you end a turn.

Cheers

1 - Great

2 - No, I mean the flashing hand that you click to make the unit Hold Fire. And the text I am referring to is things like Chances to Hit. Maybe having all text and icons automatically disappear when you fire is what I am looking for. Right now, I click on the bottom to make it disappear right after I fire.

3 - when you click on the unit or map, and you get the choices (like Move Fast, or Hunt). These choices clutter up the screen. As does the flashing hand. Maybe if those choices could be in a fixed place on the screen, it would be easier to use, and less prone to mistakes. It would also decutter a lot.

4 - Great

Thanks for your response.

Ah - OK - I understand now. It is not likely that we would make these UI changes - the UI has been through a significant amount of testing and refinement, and there is always a balance between clutter, information, and usability.

There is an option to deselect a unit after giving an order, which sounds something like what you are talking about in 2?

Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers

I see what you mean. The problem is that that option does not take away the text boxes as well. Otherwise it would be ok.
