    ************************************************************

    Lead Wars is a fun two-player turn-based war game where skill is just as important as strategy.

    So grab a friend and have a battle on the same device, or sign in to Game Center to play online head-to-head against people from around the World!

    Lead Wars simulates a game you can actually play with a real pencil and paper, where you have a hand-drawn battlefield and each player has a fleet of tanks, planes and artillery units at their disposal.

    The aim of the game is to simply wipe out all your opponent's units using your skill as well as your wits. Each player takes it in turns to move their choice of units around and fire shots at their opponent.

    To make your move, you press down on the top of a pencil perpendicular to the paper. Then, still pressing down you tilt the pencil to make the tip slip away leaving a mark on the page. This mark determines your move or shot on the battlefield.

    In Lead Wars it simulates this using the touch screen as if your finger is holding the top of the pencil and you play as if you're playing it for real! The best thing about playing Lead Wars on your iOS device though is you're not having to rub out your previous move all the time and there's no arguments as to whether a shot hit or not!

    Lead Wars is a Universal App and on iPad it makes a great tabletop two-player war game, but it plays just as well pass-n-play on iPhone and iPod touch, and makes full use of the Retina Display where available.

    This surprisingly deep turn-based strategy title charms with its sketchy style, but suffers from a lack of a single-player campaign and an inactive online community.
