    Hi all, the long-awaited sequel to Great Little War Game is almost upon us and we'd like your help to test the game for us.

    We plan on doing a couple of quick rounds of Beta testing, starting off with a full up test of the trial, sorry "lite", version. (It has a multiplayer map)

    Instructions to join can be found on our forum at www.rubicondev.com/forum.

    We have about 25 places left, but please only consider signing up if you are prepared to do some serious testing and evaluating. If you just want a sneak peak, please be considerate and wait a few more weeks for the release.

    You do not need to have bought the original game, but you should have at least a passing interest in the turn-based strategy genre to be able to give good feedback. And if you're are interested in the genre but not bought the original, why not? :)

    Thanks for reading and please help us make this game all it can be. We have a very good feeling about this title, but some honest commentary and bug hunting will make it even better.

    PS. As before, you need a 3rd gen iPod or newer device (and the 8Mb 3G model isn't 3rd gen)

    PPS. We have enhancements for every single marque of device, so a good spread of owners would be preferable please.

    Thanks again

    It took you longer to type that than cut n paste the number, which also explains why we're not using testflight. :)

    Please no derails chaps.

    Oh I know, I just don't have easy access to a pc all the time, which is why I posted my reply. I like test flight as you only need your device.
    Can't wait for the sequel to come out anyway. :)

    We're aiming to start some proper marketing within the next couple of weeks.

    Not quite ready yet as one of the purposes of this Beta is to check that what we feel looks good does indeed look good to other people who've not been sat on top of it for a year.

    Soon! :)

    Great thanks. I'm not replying individually at the moment to save time but I promise the rudeness will end once we get started - it's getting bloody hectic here. :)

    GLWG is like my favorite TBS on iOS among with Tactical Warrior and Battle for Wesnoth! Would love to test it, but unfortunately don't have time since Summer is here - no time to waste time on iOS on a sunny day :p (not saying GBWG would be wasting my time)

    Oh and somehow I predicted the name was gonna be this :p

    Would being from Scoreloop mean I'm too biased to participate? :D

    Not at all. You can see how much you need to beg to get us on PB/BB10 in the near future. :)

    Picked GLWG on the BecauseWeMay sale. It's pretty nice, a little chuggy on my android phone, but I'm sure it'll be buttery smooth on iPad when I get it back. Fun game, polished, nice job, looking forward to the next one.
