Show HN: Meatshields – A free, online, turn-based strategy game

42 points by Baron_Von_Meats ↗ HN
I made an in-browser game called Meatshields (https://meatshields.com) which allows players to play a turn-based strategy game against many different players simultaneously.

The game is heavily inspired by Advance Wars and I wanted to give people the multiplayer experience I loved from my childhood. I couldn't find an online version of the gameplay that I really loved (Advance Wars By Web (AWBW) is FANTASTIC, but there are actually a few gameplay mechanics in Advance Wars that I take issue with that I wanted to try to balance myself), so I decided to make my own.

It's still pretty rough around the edges in some aspects but the game is fully playable and has a tutorial and optional AI opponents if you don't want to fight real humans.

Right now it's just the ground units that have been slightly rebalanced, but a lot of the other great features of those games have been included.

Oh wow, the poor server is having trouble handling the new traffic! Thanks for checking it out though! Will try to resolve asap
I'll have to take a look at this later. It kind of looks like a more strategic take on agar.io?
Guest mode (even view only) will be nice. Mandatory registration is not good.
