Being that I haven't been online that much in recent times, I haven't kept up with the details of this game, but from what I've read in this thread, the game sounds a lot like Wargames: Defcon 1 on the PSX. Which, whilst wasn't that celebrated critically, I thought was an extremely underrated game. And I always did want a sequal. This sounds similar to that game (all units on the battlefied, doing their own thing, but you can switch between them freely and control them directly) only on a larger scale (I think WG:D1 only allowed up to about 4 or 5 units [plus mini-units]).
The great thing about that was the real-time fighing, but also the multiple units all had vastly different capabilities. The rocket tank fired from long-distance, but was easily defeated when approached by any other type of units from close range. The buggies were fast, and had stealth capabilities, etc. etc. You get the idea. I thought it was a great game, with lots of strategy and action, and a great deathmatch. If this game bares any resemblance with that, with what made AW so great, it should be a fantastic game.
Forgive me if I'm way off. :)
