So last September, while going through the flea market tables at Gateway 2011, I ran across this little gem and its first expansion for $60. I always wanted to give it a try so I picked it up. It sat on my shelf until a few weeks ago when I got it down from my game shelf and arm-twisted a fiend in to playing it with me.
I have to admit we found the first game a bit frustrating mostly due to the command control card system. You can't always get your troops to do what you want them to do. At the end of the day the game 'felt' right. Since then I have played a few more games and each once increases my enjoyment and respect for the system. At first glance it would seem that the rules are too simple and the strategy is lacking. What I have discovered is that the rules may be simple, but the strategy can be complex.
It can be a quick game and is very satisfying to play. This is a new favorite of mine...
Tim, then call him...
