Wait, hold on.  Back up.  Isn&#8217;t armored warfare like, you know, tanks and stuff?  I see what you did there, Paradox.  What gives?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, everyone knows General Lee lost at Gettysburg. What this game presupposes is, maybe they had kevlar crotch guards?  Oh, and tanks and zeppelins.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Gettysburg: Armored Warfare, which is a shooter\/RTS hybrid, is one of several free-to-play games in development.  Dig it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>* Salem &#8212; A free-to-play crafting MMORPG title set in a mythical version of New England.<br \/>\n* Gettysburg: Armored Warfare &#8212; A free-to-play FPS\/ RTS hybrid. The game is set during an alternate version of the Civil War and includes tanks, zeppelins, a wide variety of firearms and much more.<br \/>\n* Hearts of Iron: The Card Game &#8212; A browser-based, free-to-play digital collectable card game based on the Hearts of Iron franchise.<br \/>\n* Dreamlords: Resurrection &#8212; A free-to-play Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time Strategy (MMORTS) game.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is it silly to be psyched about a Hearts of Iron CCG?  I know it&#8217;s fashionable to think WWII is played out, but I love accessible new gameplay approaches like Petroglyph&#8217;s Panzer General on Xbox Live Arcade.  When my opponent taps Hitler to keep his Panzer Division from retreating, I&#8217;m totally going to play my Atom Bomb card for ten points of damage.
