Well, not really but it might get your attention. Stormregion has released the full version of their 2001 RTS SWINE. It's about a conflict between rabbits and pigs that takes place in a semi WWII setting. It's supposedly quite funneh. When it was released it kinda got mixed reviews but it did gather quite a following. The SWINE engine was also used for Panzers I and II (heavily modified of course).

Gamespot 7.8/10
S.W.I.N.E. is ultimately a fun and challenging game and can be recommended to anyone who enjoys the RTS genre but doesn't take it too seriously.

Downloading it now.
 
I remember playing the demo a loooooong time ago, might give the full version a chance as I like games that aren't too serious sometimes. ;)
 
I personally didn't like it...
I don't like the whole aspect of being unable to create units and que them up like in standard RTSes(Starcraft...Age of Empires...etc.)...
 
The tutorial made me chuckle a couple of times. You play the rabbit side and they have quite funny french accents. It's a bit Monty Python meets 'Ello, 'Ello. The graphics are pretty good too, even if they are over four years old. I don't mind that there is no base building. I like having the challenge of finishing missions or squirmishes with the material you have. Altho you are able in SWINE to buy units during missions (if you have enough cash of course). A pretty cool game all in all. Gonna start my first mission. I'll post some screenies later.
 
That looks quite good. I'll give it a download and see.
