Lines of Fire, the classic World War II-themed board game, can now be downloaded in the App Store for $7.99.
Called Lines of Fire: The Boardgame, this iPad edition of the original war game "takes advantage of the tablet's features to streamline the setup and gameplay," while retaining "the old-school feeling of playing an actual board game," according to the app's developer, Robert Artajew.
