Fond of beige maps, directional arrows and the phrase "Tally ho skipper, let's get those Jerries"? Mr and Mrs Armor Games have a present for you, a sleek little historical strategy game called Steam Birds.

That's historical in a free-and-easy sense, anyway. We doubt WWII fighter pilots enjoyed the benefits of energy shields and nitro injectors.

Point and click to order planes around, bringing down the Luftwaffe at as little cost to your own forces as possible.
