Quote from the website:
"Gratuitous Tank Battles is the new PC strategy game, developed by Positech Games, makers of Democracy, Kudos and of course Gratuitous Space Battles. Gratuitous Tank Battles is an RTS/Tower Defense hybrid with online elements and customisable units. The player can take the role of the defender or the attacker in a series of top-down explodey battles. A built-in map editor will allow easy sharing of custom maps and defensive challenges with other GTB players in a similar fashion to GSB's challenge system.

GTB takes place in an alternate reality where the 'central powers' never surrender and the 'great war' continues for two hundred years. Soldiers still fight in the trenches of the Somme, although rifles have (mostly) become laser rifles and giant armored mechs stride across no-mans land. The two great armies continue to fight with patriotic zeal and little memory of who Franz Ferdinand was and what happened to him. One thing is certain: It will all be over by Christmas 2114."

Intredasting. It looks very W40k-ish, with lasgun-equipped hordes of infantry and ginormous tanks tearing up shit on the battlefield. Pretty cool. Thoughts?

Bought it, played it, pretty cool. Attacking seems to be very difficult without a breakthrough strategy, but I have my methods (HINT: You can add two of the same enhancement to a two-slot vehicle by double-clicking it then clicking and dragging it to the other slot). The Oblivion Ops Devastator tears conventional cannons to metallic shreds, but isn't so good vs infantary and shielding.

That's what I have the Shieldbreaker for.
