I lost in my first playthrough, but learned my lesson and won on the second one! :)
My favorite parts were random events and the Advice action which felt like it provided strategic insight. I had some doubts about how the game works, as it says you can only do one action a day, but I think I was able to click more than one before ending the day. Is that expected? If you can only do one action every day perhaps you don't need the End Day button, and clicking the Action gives you the result and moves the day. Or the other buttons become Disabled so that you can only End the Day. Just a thought.
Great work! I thought it conveyed the spirit of being a general making strategic decisions for the army really well.
