Mac compatible?

Akaiyou83 · March 25th, 2010, 12:02 PM

I have a few friends that wants to purchase the Army Builder program, but they use Macs. I gave them a link to your purchase page but they promptly notified me that there's no "Mac" version listed on there.

Can someone provide me with the correct link for Mac users? Or how does someone on mac get to use AB?

As far as I know AB isn't available for Mac's..It's PC only. Unless their mac's are setup to run Windows apps (Dual Boot or something like that).

Army Builder is currently only available for Windows. We're actively investigating a Mac version, but it's unclear whether the approach will be viable.

You can run Army Builder on a Mac under Windows. This can be achieved with Apple's free BootCamp tool. It can also be achieved using a virtual machine such as with Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

NB: Bootcamp itself is free from Apple, but it does not include a license for any version of Windows; this must be purchased separately. Ditto for the other tools.

This would be a great addition. Hell, i'd pay 10 bucks more to make up for the demand/quantity difference vs. PC users. Also, its nice that it can output to iPhone (another Apple product) but imagine having an interactive list on an iPad. Would be a crappy device with a cool program.

How about an iPad version? It would be infinitely cool to be able to take your iPad with you to the game and display or adjust your list on site.

Now iPad version would rock.
