Has anyone played "Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge"?

I loved the original “Jagged Alliance” and it’s sequels, but no tactical, squad-based, turn-based combat game has even come close in recent years. “Silent Storm” was almost there but…ehhh.

As I understand it, “Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge” was originally supposed to be “Jagged Alliance 3”, but the deal fell through. It looks interesting enough, but I’m far too cheap to blow 30-odd clams on a game that might suck.
