Not a big Eastern front fan, so never played the first one, but this one seems to appeal to me. Matrixgames has some new screenshots (http://www.matrixgames.com/news/1559/Frontline:.The.Longest.Day.-.New.Screenshots!) up. Release date is Nov 28.
I don't remember seeing that either. Looks very interesting!
This one is out on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/312400/?snr=1_7_7_204_150_3) and on sale for $4 (normally $5). Also out on Matrixgames (http://www.matrixgames.com/products/544/details/Frontline:.The.Longest.Day) for the same $$.

It is a turn based game but is not as complex as Panzer Corps so anyone can pick this up and play. The game mechanics are quite different and you don't have carryover forces, instead you are leveling up your experience on certain unit classes, so its a bit more gamey than Panzer Corps but still great fun.

It looks good and the price is right. I'm just sick and tired of WW II
Not a huge fan of ios ports to PC. Looks kind of like a snooze fest to me.
I got the Road to Moscow version for my iPad. It's light but not bad for an intro level wargame.
I'll probably get this one also when it's out for the Pad.
