Lead Wars is a turn-based
strategy war game requiring smart thinking and physical skill. It
simulates the real life 'old skool' pencil and paper war games popular
in the days before portable gaming devices.
★ Charted the #1 Strategy Game in 23 countries! ★
You
control a fleet of planes, tanks and artillery units by flicking a
pencil around a hand-drawn battlefield on a piece of paper, taking turns
making long curve shots and strategic moves to try and outwit and
out-skill your opponent.

iTunes review - djflippy: "Lead Wars has a rare quality; the simulation
is actually better than that which it simulates." ★★★★★
Note this is not your typical path-drawing game - this is a simulation of the real life game played with a real pencil.
The
flick mechanic works just like it does in real life (try it!): Point a
pencil straight down onto some paper, holding it by the top with just
one finger. While pressing down firmly, slowly tilt the top of the
pencil - beyond a critical angle the tip will suddenly slip away leaving
a line drawn on the paper. This line determines your move or shot on
the battlefield.
Lead Wars simulates this mechanic using the
touch-screen as if you're touching the top of a real pencil. See videos

The
best thing about playing Lead Wars on your iOS device though is you're
not having to rub out your previous moves, there's no arguments whether a
shot hit or not and no dangerous flying pencils! The physical dexterity
required to make your move makes the game challenging but ultimately
more fun and rewarding, particularly when you make that near-impossible
curve shot around a wall to win the battle!
