Battle Academy by slitherine Ltd.

For Multiplayer is it online only or is there Bluetooth or pass n play?

Also, the extra $30 in iap are those missions as long as the original?

WHOOHOO!!!

Yes, yes I am more than a little excited.

Wow. Just...wow. I guess Battle Academy did pretty well on iOS! I, for one, will continue to support Slitherine. Looking forward to the Panzer Corps release. Super psyched!

They have a demo version for Mac and PC on their site. Why don't you give that a whirl. Also, you don't have to spend $50. The game is $20 - just like it is on the Mac and PC, and that's because it's the same game with all the same features and integration. The other campaigns are optional add ons that you can get as desired.

Also, Slitherine have indicated that this game won't be going on sale anytime soon (if ever).

Hey! I just looked at their forum and it seems there's quite a lot of iOS love from Slitherine on its way to us this year!

This is just great news!!

Probably THE best gaming related news on iOS I've EVER heard. That's just amazing, I can't wait!

I'm excited because you guys are excited! Sooooo what is it that we are excited about? Oh, ya....

I know nothing about Panzer Corps because I'm not a PC gamer, however, I like Panzers and I like Corps...and I LOVE Battle Academy so this is great news indeed!

I'm really glad that Slitherine is having success and thanks to those guys for porting their awesome games over to iOS! And thanks to Pip for interacting here on the forums.

Battle Academy is the best iPad game in my opinion and the amount of content is impressive...not to mention how fantastic the PBEM works to make multiplayer really fun and convenient.

I'm new to this site but had to comment on this game. After reading just about everything I could find on this game, all the ridiculous price point fighting and everything, I smashed buy. I've never been a big turn based guy and I don't know what a "Grognard" is (Am I saying it right?), I just wanted something deeper and took some thought. I was a little bored with all pick up play games. I'm just gonna come out and say it......I love this game! I can't believe the amount of polish, how good it looks on the retina display, how well the controls work, and just how fun the game is. This type of game is perfect for the iPad. 20 bones seems like a lot for an iPad game, but I've bought blu-rays for more that I watched one time. I don't know what Panzer Corp is but I will buy it if I can be a Grognard. But seriously, GG!

That's a great list...it looks like they've fully embraced iOS as a serious wargaming platform! I'll probably even buy a couple that wouldn't normally be on my shopping list if it'll help keep the titles flowing.

I'm definitely all over Panzer Corps. I hate to say it, but I am concerned about pricing though. PC presently sells for $30 (plus $5 for each of the extra campaigns...and there are a fair number of extra campaigns). I'm not sure the App Store market will support that price point for a game. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

We shall see! In the meantime, I now have something extra to look forward to in Q3.

Is there a way to set up a PBEM game with a friend? I figured out how to create a challenge with a password, but didn't see how to invite a friend.

Any help would be appreciated.
