More of a defensive board. Disadvantage is the length of time a game can take. Advantage could be, if you are not an aggressive player and like to sit back and take their time, this board can be a very good one. Not much strategy though.
It plays very well, though once you have the disadvantage you are pretty much finished, that is unless it is equal. The minus bonuses can make a big difference if you are not aware of this. I think it should be more difficult to obtain the single areas that jump from one side of the board to the other. Overall though an excellent board to play in my opinion.
Fun board, good bonus structure to allow for strategic strikes. Not just a slug fest, rather you need to use logic. Plays very well, map and structure unique.
I like the set up and how you have to think through your moves. More like chess. Excellent job with the set up and neutral armies, which would not be as good if you did not include those armies.
