I'm not sure if this is the best place for a post like this. If it isn't let me know where and the post can be removed.
I'm really wanting to do some war gaming on my iPad and I'm torn between the multiple options. The options I am currently interested in are:
Warhammer: Armageddon Panzer Corps Battle Academy 1 Battle Academy 2
What I'm really looking for is the best multiplayer turn based strategy game out of these where the community is active and the game still has some life in it. I'm unable to check the active games/players for each game, so I'm hoping players can help give me some insight.
It depends what you are looking for. Battle Academy is a more complex game but is purely mission based so very little carryover for the campaign game. There are some with it, but most are single missions. It is perfect for multiplayer.
Panzer Corps & WH40k are more focused on the single player campaign with great progression.
Armageddon is more a story, it has more surprising events, so it is less a strategical game than PanzerCorps. Armageddon has a very different replayability, it is based on tries to know the turnarounds of the scenario, when PzC replayability is more based on trying different strategies.
If you are a megafan of 40K, you should try Armageddon because there aren't many good 40K games even in Windows. On ios, its even less. If you like WW2 rather than 40K, then try Panzer Corps. Its also one of few good turn based WW2 games.
