This quick-paced easy-to-learn strategy title boasts an impressive number of unit types and different missions and delivers endless replay value because of cleverly designed online multiplayer system, built in scenario editor and a host of user mods and scenarios. Battle Academy is an action-packed tactical strategy game where you have to take command of a select group of units and lead them through battles on the many different fronts of World War II. As a commander, you will have to employ real world combined-arms tactics in order to secure victory. This means you will have to lay ambushes to surprise opposing forces, use suppressing fire to pin them, flank hostile armor for maximum effect and, if necessary, assaults the enemy to clear strong points. In some cases you will also have access to powerful off map artillery and air support with the capacity to weaken the enemy defenses or even stop an enemy attack dead in its tracks. At the same time you will have to play close attention to the morale of your own troops and use recon units to spot any hostile ambushes or flanking attacks. To achieve this, Battle Academy offers a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to control your troops and at the same time makes sure you will never lose sight of the battle. This means that you will be focused on what really matters; your mission objectives, battle tactics and unit positioning.

Challenging enough but still casual war gaming. Plus I enjoy using the editor to make "what if" situations.. The game is generally decent. it has good tactical level, some unit composition options, few scenarios, skirmishBut it has some flaws that cannot be ignored, unfortunately...-90% of scenarios are DLC, each paid separately-armored combat is by far too random to be able to predict more than less the outcome of the encounter (even sherman M4A1 (side) vs Tiger II (front) may have different outcomes...). it's not a bad t-rpg. However, it has some flaws that I'd rather not recommend it unless it's on very cheap price. I would rate it neutral, but there is no option unfortunately. It has a unique experience of how to use infantry, because if they are out in the open, they will be gone pretty quick. Learning how to take care of infantry is essential. Considering that the title is based on actual battles during World War 2, you get to learn few historical facts which I appreciated. Generally speaking, defense has more advantage than offense. Don't be fooled by cartoon graphic. It will be challenging time to time. The reason for down vote. The graphics and UI did not age well. The movement of units and camera is very awkward as well as the animation. The sound effect seems out of balance. Some sound too loud when some are too quiet. The music may become too redundant after awhile. you may unintentionally click a unit to move when you were just trying to drage the map. The unit designs are too cheap. If few graphic values were improved, this may have become more classic, but it lacks to be a PC classic on my standard. Also. the DLC prices are over priced. When it's on sale, the dlc is more expensive than the core game if I remember correctly and it is unacceptable from my perspective. I do not know how long each campaigns are, but I highly doubt if they exceed the main core campaign length. dlc is optional purchase so I will conclude my further complaint about the price, but I won't be purchasing any of $60 dlc and $20s on sale but even that is over priced. While I did certainly enjoyed some aspect of the title, I cannot recommend it due to I would say un-finished-mobile-port to PC graphic decisions.. Bit of cash grabbing at the start gave an bad impression. Tutorial explains basic movement stuff but little about combat and advantage vs disadvantage. UI is very hard to understand in regards to the important info you need.. Battle Academy is one of those titles that you'd consider buying, if it doesn't have the in-app-purchases that nickels and dimes you for additional campaigns and whatnot. Set in a simplified version of WW2, you move units on a square grid. Youa re primarily taking the British side against the Axis powers, Italians and Germans, and the initial campaign is in Africa, where you take the Desert Rats and the Matilda tanks against the Italians and later, Rommel's Afrika Corps. The battlefield is 3D, albeit with very clunky camera controls, and it's likely that this was a mobile game backport (as it's also available in the App Store for iOS) The idea is your unit have 2 movement points and 2 shooting points, spend them wisely. Flanking the enemy is good, as hitting the enemy at their strong armor will cause a "deflection". But the general idea is simple: medium tanks against light tanks, light tanks against infantry to suppress, suppress hidden infantry then attack with your own infantry. There are 3 levels of difficulty, and ability to allocate your own force mix before battle, as well as fog of war. The overall mechanics are very simple, and thus, is only suitable for noobs who needs handholding to the genre of wargames. Veterans will likely be turned off by the simplified and somewhat cartoony feel, constant onscreen reminders of certain game mechanics (which may be due to me playing in easy mode) and overall in-game playments.. A very solid turn-based WWII strategy game. The campaign missions are varied and challenging, and there are no noobs in multiplayer. Every scenario will test your knowledge of WWII era units (infantry, armor, special forces and support vehicles), and how to effectively use those units on the battle field. If you dig the Civ and/or X-Com series', this is worth a look!
