hex based!

Loving the sound of the new combat system, from the look of that screenshot above the archers are firing over a while hex to hit the enemy. Should be fun late game just shelling the enemy from range with modern artillery and cruise missiles.

Watching it now, hoping to see some AI in action as that's the only think they have been failing to show really from all the trailers.

I found an explanation of the strategic superiority of the new hex grid tiles:

Its even more then that because of the area of control feature. If your unit is next to an enemy unit, and you move your unit to another tile next to the same enemy unit then it will take up all of your remaining movement points.

if i buy the direct2drive version how will that work? Will it just be a serial number to use on steam or what?

I think that as its a steamworks game, you will just get a key to plonk into steam.
