Good evening. You're listening to Three Moves Ahead. I am your host for this week, Len, and I am joined by our friend Freelance writer, Sin Vega.

Hello.

And we are here to talk about Starship Troopers Terran Command, the recent RTS. I think it's the first licensed Starship Troopers game in a long time, I want to say.

Yes, I believe that the last one was about 20 years ago, but I must admit, I may have missed one.

That's a good question.

First of all, there's really, I would say almost no base building.

I mean, frankly, there's not really any base building.

Technically there is, but the only things you build are in preset places, and they don't actually
