It is well worth downloading. Boku are, IMO, highly under-rated developers and I played around with this when it was first out about half a decade ago. Even came up with a half-decent WW2 mod for it...
In a bit of related news I simply cannot recommend their Horses and Musket series highly enough. It has a simple control system and enough randomness that you have to plan ahead BUT ( and this is the key ) the one lesson it teaches is to keep your options open as long as possible and then to commit everything ruthlessly en masse. And it does this in a much starker, more obvious way than most other wargames on the market. If you are looking to really, really learn how to judge your committments and time them appropriately in an unforgiving environment ( something which I think most of us could do with ) then you really could do an awful lot worse than Horses and Muskets.
I really think it was a terribly overlooked game which can really help people identify and improve upon their flaws in judgement and timing. It really captures that whole OODA dynamic.
