Fast, simple, not expensive, little errata, but only reasonably fun. (War game Review)

In his review on BoardGameGeek, Brendan Whyte first turns a critical eye towards the components and rules and lists their shortcomings. Game play fares better: “…the game is fast and quite fun”. Whyte then goes into comprehensive details covering game mechanics and spares no criticism for the game opponent (AI). His discussion concerning solitaire board games vs solitaire computer games is very interesting.

For Mr. Moses I faced no difficult questions at the crossing, though I was quizzed on if I was bringing in more than $1,000 in Cash, odd question! Greatly enjoyed the Washington area and will come back again for sure! Stood on the hills of Bull run and sipped on local wine! I was so busy that I am fairly sure this is the Penultimate answer! For Mr. Boyes, my wife says I won the lottery when I married her...and its true! aNd I think I know this game, though the 2nd one looks nice!
