Coming from Matrix-litherine! Man they're really leveling up their production quality in the past few years! Selling on Steam (and other platforms) appears to have worked gangbusters for them.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

It is real time, so a no-go for me.

Aw come on guys.  Do you want to live forever?

While not all RTS games are the same, most of them are click-fests.  I may not want to live forever, but I want to outlast me fingers.   :buck2:

I would have loved a turn-based remake of the old Avalon Hill boardgame, based on the novel.  I think I still have the copy around somewhere.

I'm intrigued. It honestly looks like a pretty simple RTS, but maybe that will be perfect for a Starship Troopers game that is based on the movie. Could just be a lot of fun to sit back and blast away hordes of bugs, or get overrun by them. Not sure if I'll pick this up on release, but I'll likely try it at some point. Sometimes more casual games with a specific theme/flavor can be a nice change of pace and a lot of fun.

Try the demo of Starship Troopers - Terran Command on October 1st

The demo will contain two scenarios, including "Peace of Mine." This is an early scenario that already features most of the game's key mechanics: players will deploy the Mobile Infantry to defend a central outpost, which will serve as the staging point to reactivate mining facilities and clear out all bugs nests in the surrounding area.

The Starship Troopers - Terran Command demo will be freely available on Steam from Friday, October 1st at 5 PM GMT to Thursday, October 7th at 5 PM GMT.
