Mechabellum is pretty great. Very reminiscent of a lot of SC2 custom maps.
Traditional RTS games require a lot of work to have one cool fight, then usually the game is over. There's so much pressure on that one fight that it's stressful and no fun for a lot of players.
Mechabellum and similar games seems to skip all the hard work and focus on the one cool fight, and they repeat the one cool fight over and over.
There may be some other fun RTS elements that can be reintroduced, like the ability to control units during combat, or some base building.
I might have to check that out. I've always liked the idea of RTS's, but can't handle the RPM and investment in memorization so I normally stick to turn based tactics games.
I think you might like it. It is turn based (but also, fast - just not in the twichy way)

@kentucky444 Thanks, I've followed some TFT streams, but for some reason it's never really caught me quite like this. It's great though!
I’ve been looking for a new rts, will check this one out. The last I played I think was anno 1404, loved empire earth 1 and 2 though.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!
