After a highly successful beta phase and invaluable feedback from this community, I am thrilled to announce that ToI HQ: Tide of Iron Companion is officially out of closed testing and available worldwide on the Google Play Store!
Whether you are planning your next game night or analyzing historical win rates to find the perfectly balanced setup, ToI HQ brings the massive scenario database of Commands & Colors straight to your pocket.
Here is a complete breakdown of everything you can do with the app today:
Advanced Scenario Filtering & Search
Finding the right battle has never been easier. You can instantly narrow down the scenario list using multiple combined filters:
- By Designer: Looking for a specific author's work? The newly added Designer filter lets you sort scenarios by their creator.
- By Expansion: Filter by the exact physical boxes and expansions you own.
- Combined Power: Mix and match filters effortlessly. If a specific combination of filters yields no results, a friendly new interface will let you know immediately.
Interactive & Zoomable Maps
Leave the magnifying glass in the box. Every scenario comes with a high-quality, dynamic map. You can pinch, zoom, and pan across your smartphone screen to study terrain layouts and deployment zones before ever touching the physical board.
Historical Win Statistics & Balance
Want to know if the Axis or the Allies have the upper hand before committing to a heavy gaming session?
- Check real-time historical win/loss ratios for every battle.
- Evaluate the true balance of a scenario based on community-recorded results directly from the website's data.
Favorites & Organization
- Save for Later: Bookmark your favorite scenarios or the ones you plan to play next weekend with a simple tap.
- Instant Access: Your curated list is always one swipe away in the dedicated Favorites tab.
Blazing Fast & Offline-Ready
The app is built to be a seamless table companion, not a distraction.
- Local Database: Scenarios are parsed locally on your device, meaning lightning-fast load times even if you are playing in a basement with no internet connection.
- Background Sync: Whenever new scenarios or stats are added to the website, the app silently syncs in the background, keeping your database completely up to date without requiring manual app updates.
