Absolutely, I loved We Will Reclaim. But I also have wanted to make a similar game for a long time, and when I saw that game last year it was very much an inspiring "Oh that's what it'd look like" moment! :)
I definitely didn't execute the concept as well as that. I even downscoped my own idea a lot. I wanted something A: a little more Warioware-esque where it both shows you one thing and tells you one thing and you have to reconcile that quickly, and B: something more to do with troop movements and tactics (while still being a fast paced minigame). Neither of those goals made it in.
And yeah the overworld map is probably slightly too large-scale. I think even shrinking the points-of-interest down to 2 tiles rather than 3, and bringing them all closer together would allow for 4-direction movement.
