Dont buy

This game is buggy( music doesnt work neither do the controls). The game is way too short for the price. No real substantial content beside the main campaign. Please dont waste $9.99 on this game. I wish I could receive a refund.

The best wargame on iPad

Simply the best

Excellent

Great game, good tactical depth. Carry on. One bug however: in my latest live game, I cannot download my opponents last turn, so I am gonna lose whereas I am winning in the field. Anyways, all wargamers can buy it, its top!

An immensely satisfying experience!

I am a huge fan of BoB and now with DoM I have to open another permanent spot on my iPad. After having played through on the campaign I can say that the strategic choices one has in DoM are equal to the urgency of movement found in BoB. The bitter Russian landscape is immersive and the need for tenacity throughout is strong. The AI makes some questionable choices at times but overall is solid, and there will be many updates I am sure. Another winner guys! Thanks for giving us real games!

This is fantastic, highly recommended, polished and great fun

This would get a 5 if...

...you had the option to play on even when the AI says youre done

A pleasure and a challenge

Ive been enjoying this game thoroughly. Reminds me of the Close Combat series on the PC to some extent. Definitely worth it for the challenging multiplayer and single player experience.

Great game for the strategy lover

I have played hours of this game and not once been bored, being fun but also very challenging at some points!

Worst war game ever

Very poor game for such high price.

Отлично/Excellent

Жалко, карта одна. За кампанию из 5-6 таких карт-полных операций (от границы до Москвы и обратно соответственно) я бы 1500 не пожалел, и больше. У советского AI некоторые проблемы с осознанием танковых прорывов. Amazing game, but quite pity its so limited to the only map. I would pay $50+ for a campaign of 5-6 alike full operations (from border to Moscow and back, Axis and Soviet respectively). Also, Soviet AI got some problems realizing Axiss tank shocks.

As good as tablet war gaming gets

Must buy if you love war games.

DoM

A.I. Doesnt match the level of play of an actual human, but still gets 5stars.

Disappointed in solo game play

Highly polished and fun game, however I was hoping the solo play would be more engaging. The AI is very weak and not challenging at all.

Well done Shenandoah Studios!

I have been looking forward to playing another game from your company similar to the Battle of the Bulge system designed by John Butterfield. The graphic user interface is quite polished, unobtrusive, and makes good use of the potential of iOS. Obviously your game designers have put their design experience from Battle of the Bulge to good use in Drive on Moscow which incorporates classic chrome features of Eastern Front wargame boardgames in an readily comprehensible approach appropriate for new wargame players, yet with an appeal for the veteran wargamer. I am anxiously awaiting the next moves of my online opponents, as gain more experience with Drive on Moscow from both the perspectives of the Germans and the Soviets. Thank you for a job well done!

Grognards Rejoice

Fun area movement game that you can play in between your monster OCS sessions or your napoleonic Empires in Arms game. May not have huge replay value after dozens and dozens of plays but it certainly scratches the war gamer itch. Recommended!

Will be great game someday

I love Shenandoah Studios Battle of the Bulge, and was very excited to buy Drive on Moscow. After playing, based on my experience it may not yet be ready for primetime. Why not? After all the map is beautiful and the gameplay builds on the sturdy foundation of BotB. I would like this to be a five star game, and I believe it will be, but it is not quite there yet. My lower rating a result of my frustration from the repeated crashes that happen playing the not very challenging AI. I will check in again after they publish next update. I look forward to seeing it! Update... seeing the crash problem in multiplayer now too... still not quite ready for prime time. This game shows amazing potential, I expect the next update will make it five star material.

Keeps crashing

About half the time, the scenario crashes @ turn 14-15. Both as axis and soviet. I have an iPad 3 with iOS 7.0.4. Other than that, absolutely love the game. This and battle if the bulge are the closest things to the old Avalon Hill board games Ive found on iPad.

Arbitrary game

I beet this game with in a day, even though the ability to move and combat result are totally random.

The best war game in App Store

For those who have played war games as board games, this is the closest thing to it. It builds on many the game mechanics from the previous Battle of Bulge game and its much improved. Those looking to play against AI will be disappointed as it best played against fellow humans. This is my favorite historic war game in the App Store.

Fantastic Adaptation of Hex Wargaming

The guys at Shenandoah are on a roll. Battle of the Bulge was a good game and a faithful adaptation of older hex based games but Drive on Moscow feels far more polished and much deeper. Both games are great but Moscow was an improvement on an already good game. Cant wait to see what is next. If you like traditional hex based wargaming this is a must buy.
