It is a very simple and entertaining game. I think this review very accurately covers my impressions of the game as well. And any game with a giant monkey must, by definition, be cool. ;-) I learned the game in about five minutes. It is a very simple and entertaining game.

A couple of years back Dream Pod 9 (I think) had an alt-WW2 system out based on mechs (can't recall the name). It seemed to fizzle. I hope this won't be the case here. Can't see this having any interest at my more traditionally historical club but it looks like it should slide nicely into any group keen on pulp or RPG-esque gaming. Good review.

Your impressions are a lot like mine. The game is SO easy to teach others through demoing. That is a major compliment. Once you are past the basics, you find a lot of joy in tinkering with possible army set-ups. And from what I am seeing with my friends playing the game, this encourages to story-telling games, campaigns, named heroes and tones of fun.

I think you've really captured the essence of our game - fast, fun and easy to learn. You accentuated the best qualities of the game: the morale, force organization and playability. I look forward to the response from your readers. -Matthew Thanks for the review Zac! I think you’ve really captured the essence of our game - fast, fun and easy to learn.
