This is a good one. Complex for sure, but a solid dueling board. Graphics look nice, gameplay give many options. Seems to be more difficult to win as the bad guys though.
I want to like this board, but the mechanics are confusing and the obscured history makes it impossible to figure out how the game has resolved. I've had several games where I've gone from a seemingly good position to eliminated in one turn, and haven't been able to determine why.
Complicated mechanics are ok if you can learn by playing and reviewing the history. The fog of war continuing beyond the end of the game is just frustrating.
Additional note: It appears the history is not intentionally obscured, rather that the site isn't processing the history correctly. I'm going to this the rating I think it deserves absent the history issue...and keep playing to figure this bad boy out.
Well-balanced, nice graphics and a fun map to play on either side. What's not to like? Steep initial learning curve, I guess. One finds new avenues of attack/fortify each game.
