Bon jeux de stratégie , je recommandes .
Ein hervorragendes Rundenstrategiespiel wie Panzergeneral nur mit mehr Optionen - für jeden Rundenstrategen der die WWII Epoche mag ein "must have"!
Awesome content. Scratches that itch between huge micromanagement games like HOI or Eastern Front 2 and games like Strategic command. Amazing value for the price and very immersive and beautifully rendered.

A fantastic game. This could become one of my favorites. It's struck at just the right level; it's not so complicated that it becomes tedious and not so simplistic that it lacks realism. It's very well balanced and fun and play.
Thanks to Corsican froggy (what does it look like ? ) to built this game because I don't have to built it myself Really attractive . Plays it a lot maybe to much ... signed : half french / Spanish froggy
Hex of Steel to projekt War Frogs Studio, który z kameralnej niezależnej produkcji wyewoluował w jeden z najbardziej bezkompromisowych i elastycznych gier wojennych na rynku. Gra stanowi udany pomost między przystępnością klasycznych gier w stylu Panzer General-a a gigantyczną głębią taktyczną znaną z hardkorowych symulatorów sztabowych. Gra oferuje niezwykle precyzyjne symulowanie pola walki, w tym system zaopatrzenia (odcięcie wroga od punktów zaopatrzenia pozwala na tworzenie kaskadowych kotłów, w których nawet najpotężniejsze jednostki stają się bezradne) i wpływ pogody i terenu (błoto, śnieg, gęste lasy czy rzeki bezpośrednio wpływają na mobilność i skuteczność bojową poszczególnych typów wojsk). Wygrana wymaga ścisłej współpracy wojsk lądowych, wsparcia artyleryjskiego, panowania w powietrzu oraz osłony morskiej. Skala gry jest olbrzymia. Poza tradycyjnymi teatrami działań II wojny światowej (Europą, Afryką Północną, Pacyfikiem czy Frontem Wschodnim), gra oferuje bitwy z okresu wojny domowej w Hiszpanii. Kluczowym atutem gry jest wbudowany, intuicyjny edytor. Pozwala on na tworzenie od zera własnych map, modyfikowanie statystyk tysięcy historycznych jednostek oraz budowanie całych autorskich kampanii. Integracja ze Steam Workshop sprawia, że społeczność stale dostarcza nową zawartość. Mimo obliczania tysięcy zmiennych taktycznych i obsługi ogromnych map świata, sztuczna inteligencja podejmuje decyzje błyskawicznie. Tury komputera trwają szybko, co jest ogromną zaletą w tym gatunku. Co więcej, gra wyróżnia się unikalnym podejściem do dostosowywania poziomu trudności. Gracz sam decyduje, z których mechanik chce korzystać. Możesz włączyć pełny symulator z mgłą wojny, ograniczonymi zasobami i zmęczeniem lub stworzyć luźniejszą rozgrywkę. Hex of Steel to bardzo dobra pozycja w kategorii niezależnych gier taktycznych. Oferuje gigantyczną regrywalność, niespotykaną swobodę modowania oraz bezkonkurencyjny stosunek ceny do zawartości. To produkcja stworzona przez pasjonata dla pasjonatów, stanowiąca obowiązkową pozycję w bibliotece każdego miłośnika strategii turowych.
Exactly what I was looking for. After having been disappointed with Panzer Corps 2, this is just a breath of fresh air. It loads quickly, runs so smoothly, and just feels good to operate. There are some idiosyncrosies in the UI and other graphics that it took a bit to get used to, but once you're familiar it's mostly great - and it's so friendly to easy modding that anything that you find irritating you can find or make a fix for.
,夯爆了
Прекрасная игра. Играл ранее с удовольствием в такие аналоги как Panzer Corps, Panzer Corps 2 и Order of Battle. Считаю эту игру лучшей. Очень понравилось: 1) Возможность выиграть сценарий без ограничений по числу ходов, потеряв при этом 5 XP для ранга командира, но набрав их захватом вспомогательных победных точек и проходя сценарий не торопясь используя любую тактику; 2) Механика партизан, заставляющая оставлять гарнизоны на завоеванных территориях; 3) Механика траты денег на поддержку частей и механика расхода людских ресурсов, делающих по сути сценарий отдельной стратегической игрой, с захватом городов и заводов (заводы можно и строить, но пока эту функцию не использовал) производством новых частей в ограниченном количестве и уничтожением не нужных.
Hex of Steel is a very good game and, especially at its current sale price, it is definitely worth buying. It is one of those projects that continues to evolve with constant updates, and that commitment from the developer alone adds a great deal of value. That said, after spending time with it, I feel that its design philosophy is much closer to the classic Panzer General/Panzer Corps style than to a true grand strategy game like Strategic Command. For players who enjoy operational tactics and detailed battlefield management, this is a great experience. However, for those of us who prefer large-scale strategic warfare on a global map, the amount of micromanagement becomes overwhelming. Managing so many individual battalions and support units often shifts the focus away from strategic planning and toward moving dozens of counters every turn. In my opinion, the game already contains almost every system needed to become something even deeper. I would love to see an optional game mode based on divisions and army corps instead of individual battalions. Fewer units, organized into larger formations and fronts, would significantly reduce micromanagement while allowing players to focus on operational and strategic decisions. That would not replace the current game—it would simply offer another way to experience it and could appeal to a much broader audience of grand strategy players. Even so, I still recommend the game. It is a solid purchase, it continues to improve, and I will be following its development with great interest.
