Fray Jumps Into The Fray Of Simultaneous Turn Based Tactics Genre

That's simultaneous turn based tactics/strategy which isn't a genre that's often got a bunch of releases. But with the release of the excellent Frozen Synapse, I'll be keeping an eye out for this one. Fray was announced back in February and I have seemed to have missed the news. Thanks to nohighscores for alerting me to the existence of this game. It looks a lot more prettier that Frozen Synapse but really... I don't know much else about it. There's no release date of price point for it yet. Info below including screens and teaser trailer below...
