CMON don’t do early bird specials anymore, I think they were pissing people off.

It sure ain’t cheap – I’m probably looking at US$200 to get this to NZ. I still have reservations about the gameplay too. The Watch it Played preview is good, but there does seem to be a lot of pretty random ‘take that’ cardplay. At one stage a cavalry unit attacks a unit in the flank and gets wiped out purely due to the combo of cards played by the defender. I’d prefer to think that good tactics was going to bring me success, rather than just having the right cards at the right time. I still think the movement system looks flexible to the point of being easy to abuse. I’m also not a fan of movement trays and the way the units are locked into that formation.

I don’t know. I’ll keep watching.
