Rad. Don't know how you'll be able to recreate anything like the tactical map, but the rest of the gameplay should be replicateable.
As a sidenote, I've been working on recreating the game's wonderfully over the top particles, so let me know if you want those when I wrap them up.
A suggesstion: BLB bricks that only have a bottom face. Use those for the roof so you can see in but not out.
