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.
19/09/2011 at 09:16 Bungle says:
They are truly puns of steel.
19/09/2011 at 09:19 Iaksones says:
But you know John will keep forging ahead with those

Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smelt the puns of an Englishman.
19/09/2011 at 09:49 c-Row says:
How ironic.
19/09/2011 at 09:59 Johnny Lizard says:
I am in ore of these puns.
19/09/2011 at 10:14 caddyB says:
We have to iron out some rules about puns in the comments.
19/09/2011 at 10:27 DanPryce says:
The demand for RPS puns is vociferrous.

Trying to think of good puns really does test your metal.
19/09/2011 at 10:31 hexapodium says:
You shouldn’t slag off these freespirited pun threads.
19/09/2011 at 10:31 JohnArr says:
Only seven extra puns? We’re getting rusty.
19/09/2011 at 10:34 DiamondDog says:
I agree with JohnArr, we need to iron out some new puns.
19/09/2011 at 10:48 Gap Gen says:
John Arr, urging us on, being all metal-urgy.
19/09/2011 at 10:48 BooleanBob says:
I knew I smelt something dreadful when I loaded the site – it’s these puns stinking up the comments section!
19/09/2011 at 10:49 superemmjay says:
JohnArr apparently doesn’t have nerves of steel, otherwise he wouldn’t bemoan the lack of puns.
19/09/2011 at 11:01 Raiyan 1.0 says:
I refuse to cave in to JohnArr’s taunts to make more puns – I’m not as malleable as the rest of you!
19/09/2011 at 11:06 Lars Westergren says:
Has the pun vein been mined out? It seems it is only dross that remains now. Ore does anyone have any shiny new puns?
19/09/2011 at 11:08 BooleanBob says:
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…
19/09/2011 at 11:46 amishmonster says:
I wonder, will I play as the Axis or the Alloys?
19/09/2011 at 11:48 c-Row says:
With that attitude you will never forge ahead.
19/09/2011 at 11:55 Man Raised by Puffins says:
@ Lars: Indeed, a most disappointing corus. And with that I must take my leave, tata.
19/09/2011 at 15:10 Iaksones says:
I think John oxidentally started something here. Ore maybe not? Maybe it’s part of some malleablent and neferrous plot

My god it’s like private-eye in here….
19/09/2011 at 18:03 andyhavens says:
Those are indeed some ferocious puns.
19/09/2011 at 19:54 lasikbear says:
I was going to complain about these pun threads, but in this case I’ll lead it go.
19/09/2011 at 09:10 Iaksones says:
That pun is so good, it brought me out of lurking. What a wordsmith

Why does Africa have Dig Dug tunnels?
19/09/2011 at 09:40 Man Raised by Puffins says:
Minefields, maybe?
19/09/2011 at 10:40 drdss says:
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.
19/09/2011 at 11:25 Neuroskeptic says:
But remember it only got good after the 1.917 patch when they added tanks and air units.

I thought the decryption mini game in II was a bit tricky.

A new strategy from Croatian developers? Nobody tells me nothin’ no more…
19/09/2011 at 15:31 Spooner says:
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…

John Walker strategy post?
Have you finally realised what you’ve been missing, John?
