RE: iOS wargames
Yes but hardly an civ game... I would rank it behind civ 1. And light years behind civ 2.

I've bought and played Glory of Generals. Where is that game coming from? Engrish is readable, but I could write (type) better. Otherwise looks like decent Battle Isle clone, but in WW2 era Europe (apparently all sides have same units with different icons). Right now I'm playing with Germany, going through Danmark towards Norway.
Does that game have a name?ORIGINAL: freeboy

You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

It's a chinese-made "game". One of a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong series of Risk and PG ripofss.

It is and it has. Across all app stores, AFAIK.

Bought KOTOR and simply wow. I'm glad that panzer corps is still light years away because this game will take much of my time now. This game is huge. Many hours of playtime . Frankly best 9.99 I ever spent.

Wargames in this thread, WARgames! KOTOR is RPG. And I have played it through with Xbox.

Real RPG's are turn-based tactical simulations with a storyline and like wargames they inherited from Cosim's. I always embraced both genres. However, KOTOR was never that great as some people claim nowadays. Last mentionable title from Bioware has been Icewind Dale II.

It's almost amusing how wrong you are about that.

RE: iOS wargames
Hey guys I'm going to start a new thread on Monday about all things iPad . Mostly wargames and starwars of course. The forums on gogheads and wargamer are more or less a joke...about tablet gaming . When panzer corps comes out for iPad I will mostly cover that.

What are the best wargames available for iPhone 4 right now? I'm considering Frontline: Road to Moscow. Has anyone here played it already, what can you tell about it, and how does it compare with other wargames (PC and otherwise)?
