You probably know about Senjo no Valkyria from Sega by now - not sure if I've mentioned it here, but it's a really pretty storybook-style (visually) strategy/action tactics game set in an alternate 1935. I saw it at TGS, and it looked quite confusing to play, but if you click the movie tab on that site, you'll see there's a downloadable tutorial video. Essentially, you move your units in command mode, which takes command points. You can then actually maneuver your units in realtime, then take aim and fire at your enemies. Units have various strengths and weaknesses of course. Seems intriguing, though still very off the beaten path, which seems almost like...a Sega game?
