Lokk on left hand side about half way down in the Phantom Leader section.
A tad pricey but looks good.
I need an IOS emulator for Android (ICS) ASAP ;)

Looking forward to see impressions from people who get it since on the surface does look a bit pricey for a mobile game.....but if turns out to be good, that will make it easier to justify.
Thanks. Instant buy for me. I'm buying a Samsung soon to replace my iPhone. But my iPad stays. :)
It's great fun... even though I'm getting creamed... :P
Very slick app. Well worth the money.
I don't own the board game but might pick it up now. The app apparently dosen't have the optional rules included in the board game but there's a lot of play here:
3 campaign years with 3 lengths each and playable as either USAF or USN pilots = 18 campaigns.
I started with the 1969 as the short campaign there is just 2 days (ie 2 targets to destroy). Can not win that one.... not even get a single VP! Tried about 6 times.... obviously no the place to start as a noob.
Next I'm trying out the 1972 short campaign (4 days). I'm doing better but I think it's because I get better weapons, more planes, and better pilot pool to choose from.
You need to read the rules to get some of what's going on but they're short.
Go read JD's AAR from the board game to get a feel of how the game plays.
Already got my $15 bucks out of it.

Too bad. I have iPad1 so it's a no go until the devs make it compatible (if ever.)

QuoteiPad 1 Crash Issues
As many of you have noticed Phantom Leader is crashing on iPad version 1. The reason for this is that we are running out of RAM on the iPad version 1 hardware.
I've been looking into the technical details and at this time and with the current implementation of the game it would be very difficult if not impossible to support iPad 1. Therefore we are forced to not support the platform at this moment and offer refunds for any purchasers with iPad 1.
...
Finally made some progress...

Don't you people understand that none of this is important WHEN CTHULHU RISES FROM THE SEA!

Hornet Leader vs. Cthulhu
This.
This needs to be made.
I've never bought a DVG card game in my life (aside from the ambitious but flawed Battlefront port of Down In Flames.
But I am seriously considering pre-ordering this. (Along with Hornet Deluxe. Assuming the new version of Hornet Leader will work with the Cthulhu expansion.)
All resources should be put toward converting this to handheld, console, PC, whatever.
Red Finch Software told BGG that they should have this ported to PC and Mac by the end of June. So all you desk jockies can play too!
