Seriously. It's one of the few games that does away with the usual base-building in RTS games, and just focuses on the rest. That is part of the reason why it's among my favourite RTS games, alongside the likes of Dark Omen and Z.
The difficulty settings are also handled in a pretty clever way - by scaling up damage across the board. Everything becomes more deadly, including your own units, thereby making proper tactical decisions much more important, and victory that much more satisfying.
Now that it's reached GOG, there's really no reason not to pick it up if you haven't already, if only to sample the finest the RTT genre has to offer.
