StrategyCore has posted a new preview of Positech Games upcoming Gratuitous Tank Battles. The new title is described as a hybrid of real time strategy and tower defense, featuring online elements, customizable units, and a built-in map editor for custom creations.

The attacking forces enter the map through a single or multiple known locations, aiming to reach the exit points, and they will make their way through using the specified routes which can run parallel to each other or branch in a multitude of ways, creating interesting quandaries and some congenial firing arc overlaps here and there.

To make matters even more sporting there are sometimes adverse lighting conditions to take into account, for instance, in night-time missions, where, though you may know the routes, you may very well not see the sneaky enemies beyond range of your spotlights - unless, of course, you toggle on nightvision!

Fortunately you can speed up, slow down or pause the action at will, to move things along faster towards your deadly meat-grinders or to better keep pace with tricky situations that can let a dastardly foe slip through.
The full preview is available at the following link.
