What is Grit and Valor - 1949?

This single-player real-time tactics roguelite takes place in an alternate 1949, where World War II continues and a resistance group aims to carry an EMP weapon into Axis territory. You command a mech squad through changing battlefields, using cover and high ground to fend off enemy waves while protecting a Command Vehicle. Between runs, you return to base to upgrade mechs and pilots.
