Some considerations and minor requests.

After some multiplayer games under my belt, I want to express again how much I love this game.
The tension and sense of danger around the 19 in the full campaign is always tangible and no two games are equal.
This is valid for the solo game too...yesterday I had (another) incredibly tense game as Allied against Dietrich.
As others have already stated...no point in returning to the Race to Meuse scenario after you tried the full campaign.
I even wish there was a 'post 20 December' scenario, because I have yet to see what happen around 22-23 (I win or loose always before that), and I want to read the historical annotations for those days too.

Besides the 'no more wind' sound bug I have just minor requests about the interface.

1) I wish there was a supply/normal map switch on screen (or tapping in a corner for a more elegant/invisible solution) instead of having to press the menu and the supply button (I do that a LOT, togheter with checking the VP).

2) When you press the gamecenter button, it brings you directly to one GC game (the oldest one)...I would prefer it just opened a menu with the active games to pick up one of my choice...useful when you are playing several GC games concurrently).

3) I would LOVE to be able to export the review game video, wich is freaking awesome to boot, on Youtube.

Anyway, those are very minor things...the game is absolutely awesome, thank you very much for making it.

I think this is down to personal preference. The suggestion was made of a 'Next Game' button during playtesting because we found having to navigate back to Game Centre to then select the next game a bit cumbersome.

Depends on playstyles but when I'm 'online' I just want to rattle through my games as quickly as possible to keep them turning over and I don't really care in which order I perform them (although oldest first makes sense) as I need to deal with all of them sooner or later.

Agreed, being able to export the review or a more detailed replay would be a great feature for showcasing tournament finals and the like.

I love the end of game video, but it would also be great if I could replay the detailed turn by turn sequences I get during the game (the strategist in me really wants to go through what happened in detail after every game - especially when I lose ;) )...maybe there could be a detailed review option?

By the way, fantastic game!! Games like this are why I bought the iPad...I just had to wait a year until someone finally made one! This game brings back memories of playing strategy games with my brother all the time about 30 years ago...

If you do another kickstarter game, let me know and I'll definitely contribute.
