    price drop to 99c/59p. Been interested in this one for a while, not sure if there has ever been a release thread in the appropriate forum tho, the only thread I could find was in the upcoming games section not released games section. I have no idea how to create a thread for released games, so the dev may want to make one to generate interest, cos this looks pretty good, and with the price drop/update coming, would be a good time to promote?
    Seems like a nice reasonably hardcore strategy game, so will give a try and see how it goes!:)

    So, ive given this a bit of a go, and it seems to offer a surprising amount of depth.
    The first mission seemed like a bit of a pushover, basically crush Poland and seemed way too easy. However, this immediately changed once the second mission came around. There is a nice level of strategy, especially nice twist that turns are played concurrently, so even if you think you have made a good move, your opponent may have dodged it or countered it. The ability to purchase additional troops/armour and also purchase special strategic cards which can have one-off effects means that it can get quite in depth and resource management is the key.
    Overall, I'm really starting to get into the game, dont get me wrong this is hardly "Hearts of Iron 3", but for people wanting some good wargaming on their idevice, i believe this may be a nice choice.

    I read this is a Random Card game (Like Strongholds?) & not a TBS...
    Is tht right?

    Also if someone could tell how many maps in the single player campaign, it'd be great

    no, definately not reandom card game. the only thing random is that you can purchase a card to give you a beneficial effect, but you dont know what card you will recieve untill after you purchase it. other than that it is definately like a TBS game, albeit turns play out simultaneously.

    Dont know how many maps there are, but there are 3 seperate campaigns and an IAP to purchase a 4th campaign.

    Hope that helps. personally, I really like it!:)

    This looks great! Does the gameplay somewhat resemble "Advance Wars" on the old Game Boy Advance?

    Great news for anyone that hasn't bought World in War yet.

    This weekend in 1945 the Allied forces formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany thus ending the Second World War in Europe. Massive celebrations broke out throughout the Allied countries and to this day Victory in Europe Day is still celebrated and in many countries itÂ’s still a public holiday.

    And that is why we at PAN Vision are pleased to announce World in War will be available for free this weekend. (Fri-Sunday)

    So if you havnt got it already go for it :)

    Come one guys, this is like EUROPEAN WAR but a lame version of it!
    It has great presentation and great site but in the end the app is a lot more simpler than other apps of this kind

    World Conqueror 1945 is the kick ass of it's kind!
