The graphics of the game are a mixed bag; while some users praise the fantastic design of the counters and maps, others criticize the outdated and clunky presentation, describing it as unpolished and dull, particularly due to the lack of sound during combat. Additionally, the incessant flashing of selected units detracts from the overall experience and should be made optional.
“The graphics on the counters and the maps are fantastic!”
“Basic entry-level wargame - clunky and unpolished - outdated graphical presentation - no sounds played when units are in combat make for a dull experience - avoid!”
“Graphics are okay except for the non-stop flashing of units when selected; this should at least be optional.”

“Just because the gameplay is easy doesn't mean victory will come easily!”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found the controls to be unresponsive, which really detracted from the overall gameplay experience.”
