I would like to know if there will be a map maker apart of the app? I understand for intended purposes to have one might lessen the purchasing of pro-made maps how ever you should know, it does build a stronger community and one that last longer. Look at team fortress 2 for instance ( which I think you have, based on the classes you have chosen 
). That game is massive and it’s been going for a good while now.
Oddly enough I had thought just weeks before your announcement ( it be cool if advanced wars was on the iPad/smart devices ) which when I saw your announcement, it blew me mind. It’s a similar concept and yet so different at the same time.
Graphics: will they be ipad3 ready? ( writing this post on one ).
Will there be multiple weapons available for each class? I had an idea that guns / accessories could be classified as cards which can be traded similar to that of a card game like magic TG. Also an option to duel for something option, kind of like racing for pink slips…
Multiplayer: split screen for long train rides? Or pass the pad to friend to continue mode? I loved that option in advanced wars and would use it all the time on travels.
Also can there be multiple games going on at one time? Say I play against a friend in LA ( I live in the UK ) that game will be stored between moves while allowing me to battle other people locally and internationally.
This leads to another issue, time away from match. Could there be review system allowing to replay the last 5 moves to see where the match was upto when epic matches have time in between moves ( going to sleep ).
My only worry is that the free model may water the experience down like it does with so many games and you feel as though you have to play 24/7. I’d happily buy the game rather having it be free. Free games tend to punish rather then reward for time spent in the game. Personally I give up as they free cold based on the fact they remind you all the time " hey buy this and save Xxxx amount of time ". To do this game as ou said you’ll have to find a new method of free to play that doesn’t feel like FarmVille and one that draws you in for one more game.
Thats enough from me.
If there was a way to be apart of the beta I’d surely jump in and help out. I love turn based games from the civ series, Nintendo advance wars and lastly magic the gathering.
When you think about it not many games are turned based. That’s of course you exclude board games which in all honestly everyone loves!
