Wow. This one got under my radar. How long has it been out? O0

It's been around at various stages of development for a couple of years. It didn't have much (any?) AI opponent in the past I don't believe but it seems like that may no longer be the case. I tried it when there was a demo version available and it was...quirky. Based on some more recent posts from JC and this AAR it may be time to take another look.

I remember seeing this years ago. I was struck by the counter and landscape implementation....but I can't remember if the one I remember is this one (Battle Command) or if it is another game of similar look and play

I love this though

Formerly known as "TacLiOsi" (or some acronym close to that)- this has been around for a couple of years now. No AI (multiplayer/solo play only), good bit of a learning curve and resource intensive- at least that is how it was the last time that I tried it. Looks cool though.

I remember dicking with it over a decade ago or so when it was a project by an individual guy and he wanted to charge some crazy high dollar amount for the full version.  That acronym above is close but doesn't pull up anything in google (aside from my quote above) but the original was something close to that.  I remember that he did a video on it.  It's more simulator than game as I recall.
