The game is running on a modified Panzer Corps engine, Iain says.

Odd as Lordz said this "It is a brand new game and design, so no idea why comparing it with Panzer Corps or Commander makes any sense." When I asked if it's using the PC engine.
SO it must be wrong. I know PC it's their cash cow but I don't think they'll try and milk it by changing the theme to WH40K.
PC engine and scale to me would mean a no sale and would be a big disappointment. Now if it used say the future BA 2 engine that would make more sense..however really I wanted a Chaos Gate type experience.

It shares code with Panzer Corps but is an engine built specifically for the game. We have a hex based turn based engine - no point in throwing it away and starting again especially as we have it ported to iPad. Instead what you do is strip it back to the basics and then layer your new game on top. This is just common sense and how development works
None of the combat model is being reused so it will play completely differently to Panzer Corps.

Cool...it's all down to scale for me now..in my ignorance I still think BA2 engine would have been a great choice. Eagerly await more info\news and some screenies and vids etc.
