Found about this game yesterday when I was doing some random browsing. As I found it was quite nice, and also free to play, I thought I would share it with you.
Currently the game has 2 versions, a closed alpha that's only for windows, and an open alpha that runs on chrome (available free on the chrome web store), which works on windows, linux and mac, and has working multiplayer.

The game's goal is similar to herzog zwei, to destroy the oponent's base meanwhile you capture neutral bases with infantry. If you don't know about herzog zwei; I attached a video of it below.





The main differences with herzog zwei, is that it's quite faster, you can customize your army, airmech and pilot (pilots add some bonuses and some cons). The extra options must unlocked by leveling up and also be purchased with Kudos (ingame currency obtained by playing), or diamonds (paid with actual money). There are no exclusive paid units so far, besides a black reskin of the standard airmech, wich is identical besides the paint job.
This might look like the game is a pay to win game, but so far I haven't noticed any overpowered unlockable unit, maybe besides the credit generators, though they must be connected to a pad now, so they can't be spammed (can't confirm it, as I haven't unlocked them yet).

On a sidenote, Herzog Zwei has been considered the first actual RTS, even though you only control one unit, as it introduced real time battles, resource management, unit construction, base destruction, and also important strategic targets.

If you played herzog zwei, you might want to try airmech. If you haven't played it, you should get a genesis emulator and download a rom of it.
