Timelines: Assault on America is a new iPad and Android RTS that asks the question: "what if Germany invaded the United States" during World War 2?

It seems like it would be a very short game where a band of Nazi invaders are quickly killed by an enormous US military. But the game's actually got 12 missions, culminating in the battle for Washington.

The game's got upgradeable units, including infantry, tanks, trucks, and turrets. And defensive mechanics like mines and anti-tank missiles. You can also call in airstrikes, and take advantage of the high ground.

It looks like multiplayer is the focus, here. Not only can you play four player skirmishes (with a choice of nine playable nations), but you can fight cross-platform across iOS, Android, and all three computer operating systems.

Timelines: Assault on America is free to download and trial. If you like it, expect to cough up about £2.29 / $2.99 as an in-app purchase for the full game.
