I love this game. It feels like steel phanters, despite the map be smaller, probably because the ipad specs. It isn't a perfect simulator, but it is a fun game, probably a bit overpriced. The strategic layer is good enough for me, being the ipad best suited for quick/medium games. I recommend it.

Battle Academy (formerly Battlefield Academy) is an iOS port from the PC game of the same title. It is an introductory level wargame designed to show the interaction of combined arms at the tactical scale. I love it. I have played tons on the PC and now I am thrilled to death to be able to play the very same game, with nothing left out, on my iPad. The multi-player is fully cross platform and all the user generated content is available for free. All the DLC packs that have been released for PC are available as IAP's and they cost, like the base game, a fraction of the original PC price. There is a bloke name AaronOlstead who gives this game a ZERO. Check his other reviews. He has given EVERY game from Slitherine/Matrix a zero. All of them. So bear that in mind when you see a zero rating.

This game attempts to bring the mediocre series to the iOS but fails in several aspects. First, the terrain representation of this game doesn't make sense from a topographical perspective and controlling or selecting units in close proximity is a nightmare! No free trial version for the very unproven price point. 20 bucks for this is a rip-off, simply said. Not sure who the makers of this game were trying to fool.
