    When my wife plays, she often finds that her staff have no further uses when she has yet to use them. Same with equipment. Do the uses reset with a new game or do they carry over? If you use up a staff member in one game, then start another, is that card still used up or is it a bug? Note, I haven't been an
    E to make it happen for me, but I've seen it happen to her.

    Yes, it is a bug and it will be fixed in a patch that is pending approval by Apple for iOS. It happens if you do not exit the app between games. So until the patch updates you iDevice, your wife can exit Infection between games and then she should get full use of her staff in a game.

    I just bought this game and I like it. As already mentioned, the mechanics could be better explained. For the core rules you can get the rule book online, but to understand equipment you have to go by trial and error.

    It would also be useful to have the percentages explained for the containment rate, even after reading the rules I am still sometimes baffled by the actual numbers.

    And finally, there are a lot of typos in the text.

    But the game is fun and the scenarios add a lot to the core game. Thanks!

    A bug?: when I looked at the achievements and pressed the ? Button below, all achievements were reset :-(

    Shoot, I think I still have it on my iPad but barely remember it. As I vaguely recall, not horrible (hence still on device) but didn't grab me...although admittedly having probably done little more than the tutorial I barely was familiar with it.

    Yup I have it installed still, but haven't played for a long while. Sounds like I got further than LordGek but I feel the same. It was better (well different) than other hexwar fare (which I am not keen on, despite liking other military tbs games) but it is not that good, and many other games have proved more interesting. It's not bad, but it's not great .... typical hexwar, churn them out, make it passable, don't update them.
