Battlefront.com and Finnish game developer Aniway have released “Assault Wave” for iPad. Assault Wave is a real time World War II themed tactical action game specifically designed for the iPad touchscreen interface. The game is best described as chess with machineguns.
Assault Wave is a deceptively simple game to learn, as you just drag & drop your chosen Units to the battlefield and issue Commands to alter the tactical situation, yet the game offers a multitude of tactical choices during the game play, single player vs. the AI in a continuuous campaign and single battles, as well as head-to-head play (both online and on-device!).
