Do yourself a favor and check out Legion of the Damned. This is the only other title on iOS that favorably holds up with Battle Academy, IMO. It's a sci if setting, based on the books by William Dietz. Only caveat is that it's not yet Universal, but plays well on iPad. The developer has already submitted the retina update to Apple, with HD/Universal build in the next couple weeks. I seldom post stuff like this, but this title is far too good to go so woefully unnoticed.

The Retina Update did come out last week and made improved the looks. I have not tried multiplayer, but the AI is challenging. Still impressed by this one.

The game now supports game center invites for multiplayer.
This has some of the best spotting and artillery play I've seen, and interesting line of sight mechanics.

Anywho, looks like there's a chance to win a copy here, if you're still on the fence:
