The game is an excellent entry point for those new to turn-based strategy games, offering a simple yet challenging experience.
It effectively simulates the operational-level strategy of Operation Market-Garden, with clear mechanics and a manageable learning curve.
Affordable and accessible, it provides a nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic hex-based board games, making it a worthwhile addition for both new and seasoned players.

The movement rules are overly complicated and inconsistent, leading to confusion and frustration during gameplay.
The game lacks content, with only a few scenarios that reuse the same map, resulting in a repetitive experience.
Graphics and overall presentation are subpar, especially on larger screens, detracting from the enjoyment of the game.
