Brass Hats is a turn-based war game, available for Mac and PC. Play the role of a high ranking officer, a so-called Brass Hat, strategically commanding infantry, early tanks, biplanes, and naval ships to victory! Brass Hats follows in the footsteps of great games such as Empire, Military Madness (Nectaris), Panzer General, and Advance Wars. Brass Hats contains a 28-mission campaign, where you command the Allied Forces in the Great War against the Central Army. There is also Versus mode, where you can play a single battle against the computer, another player on the same computer, or over the Internet.
Fast, addictive and not too complicated. Easy to pause & resume.

Pros
Good, simple graphics mean you don't need the fastest processor on the market. Progression of difficulty / options available is well-balanced as you complete each mission, and there are many ways to do this, so you can try different tactics. <p>You can repeat completed missions without penalty, which is another strong point.<p>The time flies away when you are playing, but the missions fit into nice, bite-sized chunks. You can also pause, save and resume at any stage without difficulty, even half way through a turn, which is a nice touch.<p>This is a surprisingly addictive game. Even when you get proficient at using some of the 'deck' options, others turn out to be more useful than you thought!
Cons
Although the tutorials are good, a set of instructions would be useful to refer back to - not everything is covered in the tutorials (such as the movement range 'feet' in the info box). <p>There is also no information about 'Versus Mode'. It would be nice if you could save performance here, and also if you had the option of using some of the 'deck' features you have in campaign mode.
