In my opinion, this game is great. I really enjoy playing it but this might be due to the fact that I am really interested in war history. Consequently, one of the things that I appreciate the most is the little introduction provided for each scenario, summarizing some of the most relevant events that took place during each specific historical battle.
First of all, the board is well designed: the appearance is very attractive and the hexes make the setting up easier. The two-sided board provides a base for an inland or a coastal scenario, and the little hexes and obstacle that are added to each scenario change the combat field entirely.
The rules are well explained, which makes it easier to learn how to play. Besides, summary cards are provided so as to quickly check the basic rules for movement or attack depending on the type of unit or territory.
Each game lasts less than an hour (unless things get too complicated) so, on my experience, once you are done, if you lost, you might feel like you want to change the history one more time. As stated in the rulebook:
“The stage is set, the batte lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history”
