Wargaming just announced that it has launched World of Tanks Blitz on Android. That should help the company expand the community of the free-to-play tank-warfare game well beyond the 10 million players it already has on Apple’s iOS devices.

Wargaming has become a 3,500-person company thanks to the success of its PC online game World of Tanks, which has been downloaded more than 100 million times. It is adapting the game to mobile with an approach that has surprisingly few compromises in the downshift from PC.
