And despite all our bitching , it’s a pretty simple game to play. So it really doesn’t take that much to learn and figure out. Questions are being answered fairly quickly on LnLP forum, BGG, and the WaW85 FB page.

It is fairly simple. Even with the problems of the old version, it wasn't too hard to figure out the rules.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Both this game and Decks of Destiny arrive tomorrow at the UPS Store. That's 27+ pounds of packages to pick up.  :D

Having played a bunch over the weekend, I'm not entirely sold on the card instead of chit for formation activations. With only a few formations in a small scenario it's hard to randomize/shuffle only 3 or 5 cards where 3 or 5 chits is a cup feels more random...

Having multiple cards with different moral and command ranges on them to represent different formations or the same formation with different stats is a cool idea, but I feel that could be done with chits too.

With the very large scenario I'm playing now though, the formation deck is more manageable from a shuffling point of view....

Good news:  box got here a day early!

Bad news: box got here right as this major conference call started for the work, where I'm running the screen for at least half of it

So you're saying that the cards just ain't chit ?

Mine arrived about 7pm last night. Probably won’t have a chance to open the box until Friday.

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

open box in car and sneak in individual boxes from inside.  It'll take you 2-3 days, but you'll get it all in eventually

Or, just be the man of the house, put you foot down, and tell her how it's going to be.  :whistle:
