Trenches Boot Camp, the free Trenches trainer, has been released to the AppStore. Boot Camp is not only an expanded trainer for Trenches, effectively it's a Lite version.

In Boot Camp, you'll be given very specific tasks and objectives as you learn the fine craft of World War One animated battlefield management.

So, we're almost halfway to our iPad giveaway deadline. We've found it interesting is that we've amassed just under 5000 contest entries. That's a lot of active TrenchesVS players!

That said, there's still plenty of time to get your name on the list for the first time ... and on the list again.

It's easy ... all you have to do is play TrenchesVS in multiplayer mode against a friend. Each time you play a friend with a new device, you're both entered again. Who doesn't want to win an iPad just for playing with friends on TrenchesVS?!? Sounds like a perfect day to me ... the only thing better is a truckload of spicy beef jerky! (If you don't like jerky, then I meant the thing you like ... and a truckload of it)

So ... get TrenchesVS on your friend's devices, play and win!

People, people ... calm down and have a seat.

We've been getting feedback that players aren't happy that they can't play online with this first version of TrenchesVS. Let me see if I can clear the air ...

Local play TrenchesVS was finished first and we didn't see any reason to hold it back. TrenchesVS Online is coming ... it's just not down yet. And don't worry, when TrenchesVS coming out, we'll be doing another iPad giveaway.

So ... play TrenchesVS with your friends locally for now and home your skills for the TrenchesVS Online that'll be coming.

Now, return your pitchforks and torches to the closet, know that we're hearing you and know that we're working for you.

Now, we return you to your regularly scheduled programming ...
