Review on Gamer's Hall
92% (GOLD AWARD) - [Translated from German] Battlefield Academy offers entertaining and exciting game play ... Slitherine managed to put out a game that understands how to drop players into an atmospheric and tenderly designed world in which you can plunge right into the game through easy and intuitive controls ... the love for detail and the richness of units in the game provides an exclamation mark.

I unreservedly recommend it to anyone who is as enamored of turn-based combat games as I am.

Review on NetWargamingItalia
7.5/10 - Overall I think BA deserves a vote more than adequate score, despite the simplicity, or perhaps because of that, in addition to the implementation which is clean and well kept, for its innovative approach and the desire to bring new players to wargaming, although it's also fun for veterans.
