Take the high ground. From there you'll be able to gain a commanding view of the battlefield and spot YorkshireRifles' handywork, or, more precisely, that of Mr.Steve Acaster which is the one man atop it all and responsible for the arising of Airship Dragoon.

In a nutshell:

Airship Dragoon is an 'X-Com style' squad tactics and global strategy game, set in a Steampunk world with emergent gameplay.

Conquer the super-continent of Pangea with an invasion of Airships - and steal all of the coal! Battle Dastardly Pirate Insurgents! Keep the locals happy or they will be revolting! Watch as the hard working locals down tools and break out into full rebellion at your mismanagement of the economy! Smash your way "Blockbusters-style" through hostile territory to assault the Pirate Citadel in the "Bonus Campaign", or play a quick tactical battle in "Single Battle Mode".

The inflating features:

• Turn-based squad tactical combat with emergent gameplay
• 2 massive strategic campaigns featuring resource, technology and population management
• Campaigns are randomized on creation for infinite replayability
• Randomized deployment on battlefields
• Single Battle Mode for getting straight into tactical action
• 7 classes of troops, each with 4 upgrades of weapons/equipment
• Troops have unique attributes which are upgraded with experience ... if they survive combat ...
• 6 playable Steampunk factions, all with excellent facial hair and goggles
• Enemy Ai with 11 different combat tactics
• 5 Ai campaign strategies

demo is available already and the game can be pre-ordered through Desura. Final release to happen on the 14th of October.
