Line War
Line War is a strategy game where you command by drawing: lines across the map move tanks, hold fronts and launch attacks. Built around planning rather than fast clicking, with random maps, territory to conquer and matches for up to eight players. If you like outthinking an opponent more than outclicking one, this is your kind of war.
