The game speed as it is is nothing at all like starcraft, nor is the feel of the game in any way.
I mean maybe it's because I played and still play Broodwar but I disagree with the sentiment that this game is anything like a clickfest, units you arent looking at won't just die, they will fallback on their own, realign to the targets.
I agree with the above person who said the speed is fine, its fast enough that you feel pressured, like there is some urgency in your actions, but not so fast that failure to pay attention to a flank for 20 seconds will see you crushed immediately.
EDIT: Also, Real Time? I'm not convinced taking 5 hours to play a scenario will increase the games appeal, and i cant think of many people who would enjoy making an action every couple of minutes and then watch people reload for 30 seconds. After a certain point gameplay>realism
