“Remember the name ‘Valentin Lievre‘. If this relatively young (21), inexperienced* French coder can produce a WW2 TBS as compendious and competent as Operation Citadel in under a year then heaven knows what wonders he’ll produce in the decades to come.” RockPaperShotgun
“Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised with Operation Citadel. There’s a lot to like here if you’re in the mood for a light, simple Panzer General-like.

“Hex of Steel will undoubtedly stay one of the marking title of the beginning of this 21st century” 4/5 – https://www.wargamer.fr/hex-of-steel-la-passion-contre-attaque/
