Battle of Saipan 1944 is a turn based strategy game set on the Pacific theater during the Second World War. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011
Summer, 1944: You are in command of the mostly-Marine American task force with orders to seize the island of Saipan, so that it can be used as a base to launch B-29 air strikes against the Japanese home islands. The ensuing battle -- which included the U.S. 2nd Marine Division, 4th Marine Division, and the U.S. Army's 27th Infantry Division -- saw both the largest Japanese tank battle and the biggest banzai attack of the Pacific War.
As you gain control of the units while they are still in the landing ships, you can redirect the flow of reinforcements to your liking. This allows quick spreading of the beachhead but also makes it easier to overextend your landing.
FEATURES:
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup as much as possible while being challenging and entertaining.
+ Thanks to a huge amount of in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience as each roll of dices will slowly but surely guide the flow of the scenario in a different direction that the previous play-through.
+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, or Square), decide what is drawn on the map, change font, unit and hexagon sizes.
+ Clever AI: Instead of attacking on an obvious straight line towards the target, the AI opponent understands encircling, smaller tactical tasks, trying to hold a coherent front line, etc. and the AI tries to balance all these various aspects in its game plan.
In order to be a victorious general, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority and win battles. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines to supply cities instead.

Location, personal, or device identifier data is not used in any way. In the case of crash the following non-personal data is sent (vie web-form using ACRA library) to allow quick fix: Stack trace (code which failed), Name of the App, Version number of the App, and Version number of the Android OS. The app only requests the permissions it needs to function.
Conflict-Series by Joni Nuutinen has offered highly rated Android-only strategy board games since 2011, and even the first scenarios are still actively updated. The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming mechanics TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of. If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth chat without the limits of the store's comment system. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you. Thanks for understanding!
