Decent UI for a mobile game?
The Small General series aren't bad. I've tried the Tiller mobile UI and it drives me nuts.
Some of your favorites?

Like this?

I veer towards the cheesy pay-as-you-go game, like Dominations, Sim City Build-It, Forge of Empires, etc.

I've had that on my iPad for a while but damned if I can get through the instructions.

Did you try reading them?

Yep, but it's fairly convoluted. Either that or I'm just impatient. Probably both.

You? Impatient?!

Isn't that like saying 'I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous'?

if you like the Academy Games Birth of a Nation Series, there is a good port for 1775 and 1812:
(I cannot find the link for 1775 anymore, in the IPAD store, maybe it has been removed?)

disclaimer: AI is not that hard to beat, though I will admit when playing head to head it is more about luck than skill in most games (true for C&C as well, so ...)

Tabletopia ... is a framework for porting boardgames for online play, ... they are working toward mobile device support (IPAD/ANDROID) ... I was working with their kit and did some mobile ports .... there were still bugs with it when I last had time to play with it (around Christmas).

It requires a permission to use our graphics / game from the game publisher to make a kit. I asked LNLPUBLISHING at last year's ORIGINS - but, it probably got lost in the shuffle with the busy summer GAME CONVENTION season and all the work they are going forward with the DIGITAL version of their games.
Not sure, but it also looked like an expensive approach to boardgaming using your tablet - would love to see a tablet friendly VASSAL.

That would be nice. They'll need to rework the UI a bit though. I tried some VASSAL on a touch screen monitor a few years back that I laid it flat on the table to get that board game vibe. Some of the menus wouldn't work well and getting right-click options on unit counters to work was hit or miss.
Also, if the mod has a lot of windows crowded on the screen it can be a real pain to try and access each one with touch. I still needed a mouse to get various things done.

I'd be happy if they would just update Vassal to 4.0 already.
