This one looks promising... I could need new iPhone to run that. Or maybe it is time to get iPad...

Status: offline 		Hi Matt . Huge iPad fan here. I have not played mech warrior in awhile not since my ps1 days. I saw this also. It looks good. Panzer corps and commander the Great War are comming to the iPad. BA is one of my favorite games that slitherine has put out for the iPad . Legion is also a very good game.

To me MechWarrior: Tactical Command looks closer match to MechCommander serie...

Would TOAW III be suitable for an iPad? I suspect it would. If I remember correctly, Ralph was playing around with connecting his computer to an iPad. That is - running TOAW III on his computer but controlling the game from his iPad. I do not know how big a step it is between that and running the game on the iPad itself.

Best wishes,
Steve

Should point out that slitherine and haunted cow has teamed up for some project . Haunted cow is making a big deal about it while slitherine has little to say on it. Please Iain can you tell us more?

Rogo727,

I was not offended by anything you said to me and I do understand that you were getting it in the neck from a lot of people and much heat was generated. However, I still think your suggestion of adding lashings of dark chocolate syrup on top of strawberry and banana ice cream was both evil and despicable. ... and tasty...

Best wishes,
Steve

Status: offline 		I went through my computer magazines, and found what I was looking for: (short) list of iPad games. Among those is Battle of the Bulge, operational level wargame about you-know-what. Hunters 2 is said to be turn based tactical combat like UFO and X-COM series, and that is also available for iPhone. Has anyone in here played those games? Should rest of us buy those already?

What comes to PC games, there are tablets with Windows operating systems. If desktop/laptop PC games work on those, no need to make conversions for iOS nor Android machines. Is that not the case?

Status: offline 		I have battle of the bulge and it is probably the best wargame made for the iPad now (sorry slitherine). While there is only two scenarios one long and one short no two games are ever the same. While with "splashtop" you can play any game you have on your computer with your iPad . While this is a new market and slitherine is just now discovering a whole new world with tablet gamming. If they did sell 200,000 copies of panzer corps on the PC just think how many "copies " they would sale in a market of over 50 million apple users? While it takes time to convert the file over the iOS I would much rather play a panzer corps that was made for the iPad then have to remote my computer to play the game. Hope this helps.

I searched iStore for that, and found Tank Battle: 1944. Looks like Steel Panthers type game many in this forum are craving for.

Oh and John Butterfield was involved in that Bulge game..so you really can't go wrong. He is the sort of designer Slitherine should be getting involved in making games for them...here..now!

Matti,

There are Windows tablets? I thought there were only iPad and Android tablets. You learn something everyday.

I'm sorry to say that the review I read for this game didn't seem very positive:
Pocket Tactics Mechwarrior review

But there are some good ones out there - Wesnoth, Phantom Leader, Battle of the Bulge, Battle Academy, Combat Mission Touch, etc

There are a couple of tablet like systems using windows.

One set runs Win8, are basically touchscreen full function laptops.

The other uses WinRT and is designed for CPUs that are similar to other tablets etc.

According the Wikipedia, tablet versions of Windows XP aren't much more different from basic desktop versions than Windows XP Media Center. Really now, doesn't anyone in here have any experiences with Windows tablets?

Those are called hybrid.
