Dunno.. I can't even seem to give my copy away.

In this game, Trooper had to get one of his men across the red line and keep him there for three seconds. I had a rocket launcher, and he didn't. All the action happened on the second (and last) turn

 For fairness sake, I think you should upload the second game we played  No idea why youtube upload doesn't work for me, apparently there is an issue with it as mentioned in their forum, but it seems to be working fine for you? |

All the action happened on the second (and last) turn I quite like the randomness of the maps and the troops you get allocated, but it does make for some unfair games. For example, I just started a game against Jonarob, he has 2 machine gunners and 2 snipers and is starting in the half of the field which is covered in buildings, I have 3 machine gunners and a shotgun dude, and am starting in completely open ground!

Extra servers now up and running. Rather pantsily though, it looks like you need to be on the same server as the people you're playing against, or something. |

Don't worry, I've done your ten seconds of Googling for you. The difference is that you get a digital copy of the game's soundtrack, stored here: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\frozen synapse\Soundtrack (or wherever your Steam folder is). |

Yes I know, I've already incorporated it into my Music Collection folder, as I can use Google too if the mood takes me. The point is, I didn't really mind what the extra few quid was spent on me 'getting', as long as it went to the folks who made the game. I knew I loved the music from the trailer alone, hence I bought the soundtrack version. |
