I have had this game on my iPad for years, and it is still one of my favorites, but I am very unhappy with the redesign. The developers should have made the installation of the new board and tile set optional, or even an in-app purchase, rather than an automatic update. The monochromatic board is dull, and the heightened similarity of the pieces make them difficult to recognize quickly as the board fills up. The numbering on the base pieces almost completely obscures the identification of the army. The armored edges of army pieces are much obscured, and the "big print" feel of the design makes melee and range facing indicators seem cluttered. In my opinion, the game has become much less enjoyable to play.
