There's one called 'Lustria' and one called 'Border Wars'. You choose your standard armies and also allocate characteristics for your generals: Guile, Pursuasion, and Planning. Different races get different characteristic bonuses and characteristc tests seem to feature prominently.

You play a series of 3 linked battles, where you each secretly choose a 'strategy' before each battle then cross-reference them on a matrix to see what scenario and special rules you will use. The next battle depends on the outcome of the previous one. You can also deploy 'strategems' during the battle. Each supplement costs about a fiver and also has an interactive campaign tracker.

That actually sounds pretty cool.

If I could get them on something other than an iDevice I probably would.

So Warzones, but for Fantasy. Predictable, but could be fun for the squarebasers. I hope they incorporate that little campaign system into a 40k Warzone as well, if they haven't already. I must admit I haven't read the ones in Apocalypse yet.

The campaign start with the opposing force landing on lustrias coastline and a lizardmen scout party spotting them. We got to chose our strategies before the battle and compare the results on a matrix. I chose to make an ambush and he to flank me. We got the jungle ambush scenario and had to roll of on our planning attributes (you get 3 different you have to allocate 10 pts to). He won, which meant that we would play a battle line scenario.
I had 25% pts less than him, but got to choose a perk for the game (chose, 1D3 units get +1 to random characteristic). Also he had to chose a part of his force to arrive as a flank ambush.
The scenario special rules also had us rolling a dice for each unit, on 4+ they would not be deployed but arrive as reserve.
It proved to be a very fun game, in the end I managed to drive back the first wave of intruders. We will see of they will muster another assault in the future

All in all, I very much like this campaign supplement. Add wonderful narrative and variety to your games. Will defo get the border was as well.
Very handy and nifty to have the campaign tracker built in to the app. Too bad it is IOs only, I feel with you guys : /

Ps. You can read a semi battle report here with pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71779159@N05/sets/72157634929348229/

Sounds like it might actually be cool I'd it isn't too expensive and becomes available to people who haven't bought into the tablet fad.
