Trying it out for the first time..
My first turn..
Can't attack from anywhere.
Am I doing something wrong?
Figured it out -- the slinger has a gun -- It's very hard to see -- there's practically nothing in the way of delineation between the gun and the slinger. Luckily my opponent terminated the "fast" game on my request after I was forced to end my turn a couple times thinking the board was broken.
No one had any problems with this during Dev play and Review?

I think someone did ask me about that before - they were having trouble finding where to attack from.
It is one thing about the board that could be better. The units don't fit quite all the way into the gun, so overall it can be hard to see.
But, given the number of people that have played the game, and the relative lack of questions about it I don't think it is a huge issue.

Fair enough ..if I'm the only one. But it was definitely an issue for me. Consider that the image has all these white dots riddled throughout it and the number on the gun is white and it all looks like one territory and the gun territory is almost smaller than the unit number. Made it all but invisible.

Yep -- though admittedly I just skimmed it. Seemed reasonable enough that the Gunslinger was the Gun. Once my eye sees one big image with a number in the center, I'm conditioned to see it as a territory. Given how much reviewers are sticklers about clear borders, who would think to look for a hidden number at the edge of an image (with the same color)? Really, the number looked like it was part of the image. I stared at the board for a while and never saw it. Maybe a "Warning" or a "Heads Up" in the description is in order. Personally, I think it needs to be clearer on the board itself.

I put a warning in the description.
