Ratings and reviews

It's really fun except when it decides how "probability" should work. If you don't click off of the territory you're attacking when it feels like you should lose a battle, you'll simply lose your troops to an underwhelming force. I've lost 40 troops attacking a territory held by 2 and these extreme losses are common. The game frequently gives you disadvantage for whatever reason I've yet to understand

Second update this week fixed the error that wouldn't let me play. However, vertical maps no longer play vertically. I went to play South America, and the Reinforce-Attack-Fortify-Done bar is on the long side rather than the bottom along with the numbers being sideways.

I've been playing this game for 10 years and its normally an enjoyable game, but since the last update, I can't load any maps and the game has become totally unplayable.
