It’s a pretty neat turn-based strategy, feels a little like a drafting/deck-building card game (ala Dominion, Eminent Domain). The up side is it is free, and you can play live, or play-by-mail. The down side is aside from the few units you earn in the single-player campaign getting new units either costs money or is very-very slow.
