I did a short blog post about the release of War Room by Privateer Press and why I think it's the gentle digital future of tabletop wargaming.

FYI, it was circulating in beta but it's officially released as a fully (ish) developed app. I sincerely do think that the combination of helpful functionality and function over form (unlike GW's digital offerings) will make War Room the go to standard for this sort of thing.

Downloading it now!

I have no problems with the GW digital codexes; the hyperlinked rules are great

I do think that eBooks and more functional apps are the future.

Whats wrong with me? I can't see were it tells me what it is or what it does.

Here is a link to Privateer Press for War Room.

I looked at the Android app. Looks to have a few bugs in it. Hopefully they can iron them out soon.

Thanks Micman!

this is the type of program I'd like for games like Dark Age or Rezolution

Mmm, just had a look for it on Google Play: a very poor rating of 1.5 out of 5 with 1000 reviews. Good concept though and given time they could still turn this around.

@GunRunner probably because each faction is £5.00 GBP to unlock the cards – and you can't make a list without them. Which is less functionality than iBodger had, and that was free.

This program is incredibly poorly polished for how long its been in development.

I agree, it lacks a tonne of polish that it should have. I am pretty surprised how bad it was.
