Who wouldn't....more portability, work in common with the War room. One can dream....

Is there any chance that the game will be available on GOG?

Thanks!

Honestly? Myself.

It's bad enough I had to resurrect a VM that plays like a dog to be able to play it at all; I don't want yet another device/platform I don't have to be necessary to play. :-(

In general, I'm really not a fan of tablets (regardless of vendor), but I will admit it would be a very intuitive way to play.

Another vote, this one for Mac.

I bought it last night. That's the first time I've paid full price for a video game in a decade, I hope you all feel special. ;-)

Very fun to play. The stacked icons are kinda weird, but I can see why they did it that way. I did have one crash in the tutorial, but when I restarted the mission it played through again just fine. Got through the entire tutorial and about halfway through the second campaign scenario before I had to go do other things. Looking forward to more scenarios on the GEV maps, I was always more into GEV than Ogre.

One gripe: Spillover fire doesn't affect terrain. This is exactly the sort of tedious record keeping that porting a board game to a video game is supposed to take over for you. This isn't that big of a deal right now, but when they start to port over the Raid scenarios it could start to affect play balance.

I'd like to see console versions.

Thank you for early adopting! As to terrain - yes, that should eventually be implemented. Auroch, is that on a punch list?

Different on console & mobile, but unfortunately them's the rules.

Thanks folks, great seeing the response so far!

Just to be clear I totally don't expect my PC license to transfer to android, I just want to be able to take Ogre anywhere I go. :)

And I totally understand people not wanting it on tablet. What I don't understand is people not wanting me (or anyone else) to have it on tablet.

I don't think anyone said you couldn't have it, just that it's something I wouldn't necessarily vote for. Given the choice, I'd like to see it on other workstations first before putting it on tablets, but that has nothing to do with your vote :-)

Fair enough! :)
