Has anyone played this? I’m having a lot of fun. Very simple, cartoony/goofy ragdoll physics strategy game. You set up different kind of soldiers on a battlefield, and each have varying powers and abilities – from a club-armed caveman to the Grim Reaper to a Da Vinci inspired spinning tank contraption.

A great time-waster.

I’ve gotten about half of the “missions” completed. It is a lot of fun. Losing a battle isn’t a big deal; it just means you have to rethink your strategy: did I choose the right troops in the right number? Was troops placement horrible? Etc.

And watching the rag dolls rag doll around is, as you say, goofy fun.

I love TABS. Thanks for reminding me to check it again,they keep adding more campaigns to smash through, and more hidden/secret units. Hobbit only armies are so much fun, and sometimes effective . 🙂
