Yeah, I played a bit of Dual Strike and enjoyed it also— my main complaint with it was that the slight 3D tilt on the gameboard mangles all that beautiful pixel art.
Have tried Wargroove (it was in a recent Humble Bundle) and it was fun, but agree that it's just not quite the same.
Unfortunately the much more grim and depressing "Days of Ruin" sold poorly and the studio has seemingly drifted away from making another AW game
Competitors like Tiny Metal or WarGroove just don't scratch the same itch either unfortunately
