Yeah looks interesting... I'm waiting for U-Boot to show up before  get any more of their games though.....

Did it show up?  :D

Mine is still in its box, I never bothered to put it together nor punch anything. It's too intimidating.

Get on it!  I’ve run around 8 games at stores and cons and quite a few more solo.  It’s a very good game which could’ve been great had they done a better job making the engineer’s position more engaging.

So, SDR, I'm guessing you're good with it solo, then? I might give it a shot, I don't know. It takes up a lot more table space than I thought it would, which is admittedly a major issue for me.

I wonder if SDR is talking about UBOOT or Europe Divided?

I figured U-Boot, because I'd heard one of the four positions is pretty boring if played by a single individual.

Yeah, U-BOOT.  We mainly play it 3 players now with the engineer stuff being a shared task.

I don’t find solo to be rough at all.  In many ways it’s easier as it’s just one person making all the decisions and prioritizing tasks.  You can pause the app as often as you like so it doesn’t get overwhelming.

Is the UBoot app compatible with Kindle Fire tablets of is it a pure android-only thing?

Apple iOS,  Google, and PC via Steam.   Don’t know about the Kindle.
