So has anyone heard about this game and is anyone likely to buy it?

The game contains an element of TBS and RTS. You move your armies in stacks around the main map and do all the diplomacy and build orders in the TBS section and then you control the battles in an RTS manner, which can be really good.

Sounds interesting, might be worth a look.

Is this related to the Shogun Total War game?
