The Game of War: Chess with Networks (2008)

"Arsenals radiate lines of communication vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. In addition, transmission relays propagate any line of communication aimed at them. All units must remain in direct connection with their own lines of communication, or be adjacent to a friendly unit in communication. If stranded, a unit goes offline and becomes inert."

I seem to recall someone tried to make an online version of this game and got hit with copyright takedowns. 'twould appear there is some notion of bringing it back [1].
