Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance is a real-time strategy game by Cats Who Play, published by Slitherine, set in the Future War between humanity and Legion. There is no base building: you command a single attrition-bound army across a campaign map, so the shortcuts are all unit craft — stances, formations, firing modes, cover, repair, and four contextual ability slots whose meaning changes with the unit selected.
