Battle for Iwo Jima/Kursk

These look good. According to the review, very easy to learn and play (which I like), difficult to win. Simple, yet attractive graphics. Will run on basically anything.

Battle for Iwo Jima Review

On 4th June 2019, Matrix-Slitherine did something really smart when they picked up the Battle for Korsun developer YoboWargames. While he’s officially working on a port of Valor & Victory for them, if the firm is equally smart they will also immediately pick up Yobo’s latest offering, Battle for...

You are basically playing a single battle board game against the AI on your PC.

Started playing Iwo Jima yesterday. It has already given me a better appreciation for what those Marines went through to take that island. The game itself is just as described in the Wargamer.com article. Easy to learn, hard to win.

It is very much like playing a cardboard wargame, without the fuss of setting the board and counters up (and accidentally knocking them over). The turns are one day long with a number of different phases, the last one being a night phase where the Japs often launch star shells and banzai attack. So far, I like it. It's refreshing to play something like this occasionally.

Hi @Yobowargames .
Looked you up and imagine my delight to realize you're the developer for Valor & Victory!
We have a topic opened for that game and would really like to hear from you about it.
Did go to to your website and heard the audio for opportunity fire. Excellent. But you need to kill that bird. Literally.
It's louder than the guns!

I was relieved of duty by Admiral Nimitz for losing too many American lives. Will have to try again.

Yep will take a few games to master. Need to use those armor units to really support your units as much as possible. Avoid moving your units needless within the enemy opportunity fire range.
