Under rating threshold (show) It's a fun game with a lot of potential. I think the design is really difficult because it's supposed to SEEM hard and desperate. Winning should feel like limping across the finish line. The Battle of Britain wasn't about Britain bravely massacring the Luftwaffe as soon as they crossed the Channel, it was about holding the country together while the RAF did whatever they could. Here's my suggestions: -Make the combat math more transparent(how much better are Spitfires?) -Instead of ramping up the difficulty through random events and losing an inordinate amount of planes, just have a lot more German planes attack as the game goes on -Someone else suggested more recruiters. Again, I'd balance this out with more German attacks Random Idea: Ace Pilots You'd have to track an individual pilot, but perhaps if a pilot survived X battles he turns into an Ace. You could either keep him on as a more effective pilot, or ground him to bolster recruiting efforts. 4/5

Under rating threshold (show) Great game, only major complaint I have is that the minus (-) button appears next to every resource even when there are 0 units allocated there. And some comments for those that don't know: The battle sequences are predetermined before it actually shows it. Planes blowing up after the battle is seemingly over is just a minor glitch, but the end result is what is supposed to happen, that plane was supposed to go down. Second, you don't have to click over and over to add and subtract, holding down the mouse button on them works too.

Under rating threshold (show) To start off, ignore any incoming attacks and get 10 recruiters. Let a turn go by. Look at your areas, and round down (No rounding up) each percentage to a multiple of 5. For each 5% missing, get a builder and put them there. If you have more builders then needed in a day, take some out and make them do something else for a while. You can always re-assign them. Put the rest in recruiters. Keep doing this until 20 recruiters. Now focus on getting to 8 workers and 10 harvesters. Once done produce spitfires all the time. If you get damaged too quickly, put some firemen. You now want to get your spies up to 45 (10% of them are likely to die each day, which comes out at 4.5 spies dead. Replace them each day). Once you have this sorted, either increase firemen for defence (Only put 8-17 firemen in each area or your asking for them to die), builders (Buy in sets of 4, and get 5 harvesters for each one) or pilots. Once you have enough pilots and planes, then start attacking.

Under rating threshold (show) Love the game! but the killing rate is very random it seems. also i would love that you had to research the plane instead. maybe be able to research things like the radar. Be able to build AA guns in the cities, give a % for defence. Be able to upgrade the plane maybe ? love the game anyway!

Under rating threshold (show) Actually there is a secret to winning about 100% of the time. First, overbuild spitfires, overstock metal. Second, do not try and defend everything all the time. Rebuild. Don't use fire chiefs. By picking and choosing your fights, you can stock up on man power. Between here and armor games (played on both, just in case there was a difference) I have ended 15/15 with about 100 spare spits, usually 50-70 pilots, and 100% cities. You have to play around with it a little, and it does increase the time of the game. Oh and get your spies up, picking and choosing what gets through and what you stop is part of the strategy. Plus this so frustrated players can win a few please

Under rating threshold (show) Abritray winning figure of 300 german planes lost changes the dynamic at the end. Suggest you award victory for a random number between 300 and 350... The British never had any idea when Germany would give up... For consistency, use 300 still as the high score date... but in game play, let it be variable, we don't know how long it will continue...

Under rating threshold (show) Overall interesting game, but seemed to random for battles to me. I sent 1 Spit against 11 enemies and he shoots em all down. Then later i send 4 guys against 2 a JU-88 and a 109 and i lose 3 planes. Very inconsistent fighting, this is the biggest drawback to the game.

Under rating threshold (show) I had to see this through till the end, and enjoyed it -- but can't see playing it again without some serious tweaks. My suggestions: 1. I would recommend that intelligence info be reflected in the "city areas" screen -- little icons for certain, or possible, attacks. Would save a ton of clicking back and forth. 2. maybe I'm a bad student of history, but I don't know the names of every German plane, whether they were more or less dangerous than others, and how to allocate my forces appropriately when multiple raids are coming in. Are 5 [somethings] worse than 3 [whatevers]? No idea. 3. would be nice to be able to speed up battle animations without skipping them entirely 4. the "high score" seems to just be # of days. Are there penalties/bonuses for not losing a city? How about margin of victory? If I was in a war, I'd vote to extend it an extra week or two, if it meant our casualties were much lower. … And that’s it. Thanks for making this!

Under rating threshold (show) I would love to know how the combat system works, cause i had 4 spitfires defend against 5 messershmidts and 6 junkers, and 2 spits were left. But my force of 9 spitfires was shot down by 3 messers and 6 junkers, and they had 1 messer and 2 junkers left. All in all, its a great game, but the combat should be a little less random

Jan. 25, 2011

Under rating threshold (show) If you would tweak this a bit it would be a fun game. For instance, having morale hit an all time low on the day the Germans surrendered suggests something is off. Winning without any city dropping to 50% or even close suggests its too easy. Firemen are never needed. Etc. Still, fun game.

Under rating threshold (show) Though Matador was a little... loud... in his complaint, i really have to agree. I sent a Spitfire and a Hurricane into battle with two Heinkel bombers, and lost the Spitfire. I seriously doubt that the two massive, sluggish, and lightly armed bombers could have shot down either of those planes. I think that the combat generator could be changed, and better consider that Spitfires were excellent fighters, and many of the British pilots at the start of the fight were skilled aces.

Under rating threshold (show) I love the concept behind the game, and it's got great potential, but... seeing my numerically superior squadron of Spitfires get shot down in droves by a few Ju-87s is... disheartening, to say the least. As has been said, the airplane ability advantage should be clearly in the favour of the British, as even the stellar Bf-109 did poorly in the actual Battle of Britain due to lack of fuel for dogfighting. Not that I'd necessarily agree that the Bf-109 (or the under appreciated Fw-190) was better than a Spitfire or Hurricane even on equal ground, to say nothing of Spitfires and Hurricanes being shot down in large numbers by bombers, particularly Ju-87s (It would be like said Bf-109s or Fw-190s being slaughtered by Fairey Battles). So, to sum up: British planes should be stronger, but pretty well outnumbered. I want a sense of my brave pilots and civilians struggling on heroically in the face of grim odds, not the sense of "Wow, my planes are terrible." In the meantime, Achtung Spitfire!

Jan. 28, 2011

Under rating threshold (show) Suggestions: Spitfires should be more likely to attack fighters first, hurricanes should be more likely to attack bombers. This reflects how they were used during the battle. It should mean a combined force would have a purpose. The enemy planes should be drawn from a pool. In such a way if you concentrate bombers later attacks will contain more fighters.

Under rating threshold (show) Not a bad little game but two of the achievements are based purely on luck. Sending 1 plane out against 3 enemies and surviving and the one for shooting down 20 bombers in one raid. I've played through the thing 3 times now and have never had 20 bombers show up in one raid and never had a single plane survive attacking 3 enemies (tried that one about 20 times so far). Still like the game though! 3/5
