I t would be very convenient if you guys could design a simple Android / iOS app so that people could play wargear on the go. This would improve wait time as well as decrease the number of games decided by someone getting booted for not making a time limit. If you could seriously consider this request I would be very appreciative

The new Player (out in Beta imminently) will allow play on all modern browsers including iOS.

Nayr,

I have an iPad and I would love it if there was something like this as well, but to my knowledge there's only one person developing and maintaining this site. He's got enough on his hands to worry about creating a dedicated app for iOS.  Just getting it to play on all the browsers out there sounds like a full-time job to me

So im to assume that said player would not require flash

yep - played on my iPad just this afternoon using the beta..  Very slow-- but it worked.

I personally would pay for a mobile app. I already pay for premium but I would pay more for a app... Just saying... not just viewable website but an actual mobile app.

There's already a player out that doesn't require flash...I play on my phone all the time...granted, it is slower and kind of a pain to select smaller territories. It does work in a pinch if your timer is about to run out though.

I don't know if 50 people paying 1.99 would cover the cost of development on that one.

True, but in the app store you would be opening it up to a whole new demographic of potential players who would search for Risk on their mobile device, but wouldn't bother to login to a computer to play.  It's a whole new world and I really think this would be a great evolution.  I play on my tablet all the time and sometimes get frustrated by the slowness and would love a dedicated app to play.

+1 I never thought of it that way.  It's more than a convenience for existing users. Currently, playing on an iOs device using a browser is painful.
