The demo is out.

It's a tower defense game set in a continuing WW I. You can attack as well as defend, design your own units and maps. Three levels of difficult and on-line play. Great stuff!

Great game, try the demo.

My only minus with the game is that unit designs are kept in a long list, so its pretty hard to remember whats your newest design and do I need to design a newer heavy mech?

I actually own the game and been having some trouble getting into it myself.  Graphics are of a similar style to GSB but of course in the WW1 theme like Bismark said.  I think it has potential but feel I'm just missing something about it!

You may want to look at the "Divisiions" option.

I previewed it while still in beta and it fell flat for me. I really like some tower defense games (Defense Grid, Unstoppable Gorg, etc), but GTB fell very flat for me. While the combat was sometimes frantic I didn't find it engaging. There was a disconnect sometimes as to why I crushed a scenario or did poorly. I never felt motivated to design my own units either. On paper the game seemed like something I would like, but wasn't. Now that a demo is out people on the fence can give it a try. As an aside, I didn't like Gratuitous Space Battles either, but Gratuitous Tank Battles was a bit better. I could make more sense of the outcomes at least.

I really like Defense Grid.  I guess the problem with GTB is that there isn't really a story to it.  However, the combinations of troops you can design are really cool but it's almost overwhelming with all the choices you have.  Maybe that's why I like Defense Grid more, it's more focused and has a quirky narrator.

I believe the narrator is John Rhys-Davies or a very good impersonator. Could cost a bit.
