Firmly in the category of Mr Timothy Stone and his acolytes is Iron Cross, a new multiplayer strategy from indie Croatian developers, Panzer Division. Focusing on the North African element of Mega War II, you can play as the Goodies or the Baddies, and it’s free. It’s also now in open beta, which makes it ultra-free. Being in beta, the developers explain, “you can expect game upgrades and occasional problems. Come on, download it and have fun!” You can get the beta from right here.
Puns like that makes me steel myself every time I load up RPS.

They are truly puns of steel.
report
But you know John will keep forging ahead with those
report
Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smelt the puns of an Englishman.
report
How ironic.
report
I am in ore of these puns.
report
We have to iron out some rules about puns in the comments.
report
The demand for RPS puns is vociferrous.
report
Trying to think of good puns really does test your metal.
report
You shouldn’t slag off these freespirited pun threads.
report
Only seven extra puns? We’re getting rusty.
report
I agree with JohnArr, we need to iron out some new puns.
report
John Arr, urging us on, being all metal-urgy.
report
I knew I smelt something dreadful when I loaded the site – it’s these puns stinking up the comments section!
report
JohnArr apparently doesn’t have nerves of steel, otherwise he wouldn’t bemoan the lack of puns.
report
I refuse to cave in to JohnArr’s taunts to make more puns – I’m not as malleable as the rest of you!
report
Has the pun vein been mined out? It seems it is only dross that remains now. Ore does anyone have any shiny new puns?
report
I had another one, but I decided it was so bad that there was no way I could post it. You could say it would have been inexcrucible.

@BooleanBob
Pfft. What a lode…
report
I wonder, will I play as the Axis or the Alloys?
report
With that attitude you will never forge ahead.
report
@ Lars: Indeed, a most disappointing corus. And with that I must take my leave, tata.
report
I think John oxidentally started something here. Ore maybe not? Maybe it’s part of some malleablent and neferrous plot
report
My god it’s like private-eye in here….
report
Those are indeed some ferocious puns.
report
I was going to complain about these pun threads, but in this case I’ll lead it go.
report
That pun is so good, it brought me out of lurking. What a wordsmith
report
Why does Africa have Dig Dug tunnels?
report
Minefields, maybe?
report
Meh, I liked Mega War II, but the level design sucked – all wide open spaces, it was like they weren’t even trying. I preferred vanilla Mega War, with the claustrophobic trenches.
report
But remember it only got good after the 1.917 patch when they added tanks and air units.
report
I thought the decryption mini game in II was a bit tricky.
report
There’s No Fe
[INSERT OBLIGATORY QUINNS JOKE HERE]
report
A new strategy from Croatian developers? Nobody tells me nothin’ no more…
report
The Unity of Command (currently in closed beta, but I think you can still apply) people are Croatian too! Sudden burst of wargame betas from that small country…
report
John Walker strategy post?
Have you finally realised what you’ve been missing, John?
