Positech Games has released the update previously promised for alternate-history strategy game Gratuitous Tank Battles. Game owners can now download the update on Steam. In addition to the fixes and additions previously announced, including the new Mission 12 map, this update makes some tweaks to the difficulty of various scenarios.

This week, the Humble Sale has gone back to selling video games, with the titles up for grabs coming from strategy developer Positech Games.

Eskimo Press: "Gratuitous Tank Battles is a tower-defense/RTS hybrid thing set in a world where World War I never ended. Tanks are used alongside mechs and laser riflemen against missile batteries and laser cannons. Sounds cool, right?"

Today the expansion The Western Front for UK indie Gratuitous Tank Battles is available. It's an "alternate-history" tower-defense game involving plenty of tanks which just got a lot more WW2 themed.
The plot of Gratuitous Tank Battles is that the first World War kinda never ended, but got lasers! Now The Western Front pushes it into WW2 as Yanks face the Krauts in Europe through 8 missions.
