Most interesting, how'd this get under the radar.

One last question, do my units level up or gain EXP(Final fantasy tactics/disgaea style), or are they just fixed strength(like Advance Wars). They don't have eqipment , you just buy em and attack right?

Ok one more last question, have there been any clear imbalances or broken units or races found and if there are would they get fixed? I mean stuff like(in advance wars DS) colin's double gold rush +200% Power of Money charge, or Grit's artillery superiority.

I seem to recall a valentines day event last year, got the thunderpack, IT2, and Starfury then at 20% off or something like that... I think I'll hold out, play the demo, till then see if something comes up.

My main PC has been dead since late november or i'd likely have got it sooner, been out of touch with the shrapnel community for awhile. I read about this in PC gamer while standing in a walmart, once I get home I borrow my ma's PC to do some research. I'm getting the demo as I type, but 66 MB over 56k is taking awhile.

EDIT: one more thing, a sugestion for the guide. So far it's been very informative but a little more detail on the units would be nice, like their exact stats, cost, HP defence ans skills. I know if I had the game i'd know what they were anyway but for reference and quick comparison it's be cool.
