Slitherine

I recently acquired BA for iPad and find the tutorials lacking in necessary information, which I find unacceptable in a premium-priced game. The stars seem to be related to the achievements listed in the play screen, but the game seems to cheat the player a bit. In the second desert scenario with the British ambushing the Italians, I was able to kill the requisite 10 enemy units and avoid any friendly losses, giving me 2 of the 3 achievements. Unfortunately, at the end of the turn in which I killed what was apparently the sole remaining Italian defender, the game immediately ended, granting me victory but depriving me of the third achievement (capture all victory points in 12 turns) because the enemy that I killed had been occupying the final flagged victory point. I was only on turn 10, so I would have easily gained the final achievement had the game not prevented it.

Achivements are intended to be tough to obtain, and sometimes require some lateral thinking to gain, though in this specific example I can understand that it would be tricky to work around.

Cheers
