Dandy Guy, in Space
Anybody played this yet?

I got a review code from the PR guy (who I think is part of the dev team as its a really really small indie studio).

It kind of reminds me of rainbow six, tactics ogre and commando's with play by email sort of multiplayer. Definetly worth playing,

if anyone does, I'm called wev on the game and I play on server UK3.
 
You really should look it up, depends what you like, obviously, but its fantastic.

Here's a video of a match I exported from the game (the game converts the footage and uploads for you.

It looks manic from there, but you're never actually in direct control of your troops.

when a match loads, you give them orders by creating waypoints, then submit them, your opponent is doing the same thing at exactly the same time as you (unless they've gone offline are running another match simulataneously), when you've both submitted your orders, the game will play them for five seconds, and then you get to give out additional orders/change your instructions depending on what happened in the previous turn.

It's bloody hard to explain, and the footage thats online doesn't really do it justice really.

Here's Giantbomb's quick play
 
That sounds and looks really cool! Thanks for the links, now that I've seen it running I do vaguely remember reading about it, could never have placed the name, though.
