Nice summary of the details, pretty much concurs with what I understand about the game.
The problem is, how long is a game going to take?
With several pieces (about 10 I think) and then 10 battles with several rounds, each raound being dependent on a response, that's a lot of time. 1-2 hours per game?
That's me out already. I just don't have the time.
I should have included that info. 10-40 minutes was the range they found in testing per the AMA.
OK That's not too bad, still on the long side!
