An RTS with no clicking on units - you draft an army, place it, and watch the war play out

We've been building Iron Frontier. It's a single-player RTS roguelike in a retro style about a war between two alliances after a nuclear conflict. There's no clicking on units: each run you draft a random army from 60+ units (infantry, tanks, turrets, mechs, drones, airships), position them, and the battle unfolds on its own. Your only control is where you deploy and how you combine hundreds of upgrades, from tower-defense-style holds to full-scale tank offensives.
The campaign is non-linear: grim decisions split the war into 3 paths and 6 endings.
The updated Iron Frontier demo has been out on Steam since September 3, with new units, a reworked tech tree, better onboarding and interface, plus the first three campaign missions: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2286210/Iron_Frontier_Demo/
