Reception
Richard Charles Karr reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, writing: A 1993 Computer Gaming World survey of wargames gave Tigers in the Snow one star out of five, stating that its primitive graphics, play mechanics, and user interface "have been superseded by more recent efforts". Ahoy! in 1984 wished that the Commodore 64 version used SSI's Combat Leaders superior graphics, but praised the game's realism.
