Tigers on the Hunt is a World War 2 hard-core tactical wargame for PC.

It creates a truly and immersive tactical simulation.  Tigers on the Hunt boasts a ferocious and adaptive AI which will dynamically respond to a player’s maneuvers. Players can enjoy massive battles across up to 12 connected geomorphic maps with over 200 Infantry units, 100 Support Weapons, 100 Ordnance pieces and 50 Vehicles per side.

The sequence of play is more complex and interactive than any other WW2 turn based PC tactical wargame: game turns are broken down into 16 segments per turn, 8 segments per side and battlefields can range from small to huge in size and complexity, up to 3.8km x 1.6km in size and 200 infantry squads, 50 guns and 50 vehicles per side.

For scenario designers, a powerful and easy-to-user editor is available in Tigers on the Hunt. Editing maps, scenarios, and OOBs can be done with just a few clicks so the possibilities for enjoying WW2 tactical engagements are near limitless!

• Three difficulty levels with varying levels of command and control implementation.

• A dynamic AI which never reacts the same way twice to a player’s plan. Scenario designers need only designate the AI as an attacker or defender and the game engine will do the rest!

• Tigers on the Hunt uses Fog of War; if a unit doesn’t have LOS to any enemy unit(s) it will not be able to see or engage the enemy unit(s). LOS is detailed, down to a pixel level.

Quarter to Three Review
3/5 - "When I play Tigers on the Hunt, I can watch the system roll through its motions and feel every shake and shudder of the gears."

BigBossBattle Tigers on the Hunt Review
"This is, at its purest, a tribute to the deep Advanced Squad Leader system, and it delivers the content and scale of that in full, while also adding in AI, several difficulty modes, automated dice rolls and a few other features."
