"Combat Mission: Touch" is the result of a collaboration between Battlefront.com, the critically acclaimed creators of the genre defining Combat Mission series of wargames for now over 10 years, and Dromedary LLC. Using Combat Mission's unique WeGo turn-based play mode of simultaneous planning and execution phases, and a vast 3D environment, it combines the fun of fast paced action with the strategy of turns. Make no mistake, fun as it is, "Combat Mission: Touch" is a true wargame, with a number of mind-blowing features that were available, until now, only on the desktop.

So, get down on the ground and get dirty, Private. The outcome of the next combat battle is in your hands. Literally!

Watch this space for a link to the AppStore to purchase the game tomorrow, April 2. In the meantime, check out the brief feature overview below, and talk about it.

If I were to take over my wife's ipad to play CMBN that would be the straw that broke the horse's back Har!

Hey Lighthorse, nice April Fools Joke (Double Har)
 
I hope to download it soon. I'll write a view if you guys would like.
 
I've got it. It's fun to have CM on the iPad and it demonstrates some very, very innovative features around the user interface, but it is not CMBN for the iPad (Battlefront says as much). For example, turns are 0:30 seconds, battles are much smaller, and unit information is very limited. It sounds like the limits are largely platform related (i.e, power, display, etc. of the iPad) but I wonder if it also has to do with a more consumer-ized market.

It should be interesting to see how this develops.

I was thinking of running a CM Touch ladder but I feel despite bringing in new members they would be the wrong ilk. The App Kids I call them who are just not... well... us?

As for the game... I dont see the need to play a watered down version of CM and will pass on buying it.
 
We are the Few Good MEN not the Few Good KIDS

:biggrin-new:
 
let it play out a while, and then review the iPad product as a club event

I really thought this was an April Fool's joke. You guys saying this is for real? :)

Bob says it right. It is NOT CMBN for the ipad. It has a few cool features like the way you pan around the field or plotting the route of troops, but beyond that it is a highly iPaded version of the game. It is for a different group of people(not trying to be arrogant...). I see no reason to create anything for the club for it. I would think they would come and go like the rain.

It's a good move for BF however. I am sure they will sell quite a few copies and at $4.99 a pop it will add up quick. But I think people will lose interest in it very quickly. I know I did. I played 2 games and have not had the "itch" to play it again.
