I just like this game. It sets up in minutes. A lot of fun tension as you gather cards and look for opportunities to crush your opponent. I've played four times, and screw up about four rules each time. Last game we didn't advance after a kill. Prior to that we combined attack strengths with Volley and Bombardment. But the games were still lots of fun.
My sons, ages 8 and 11, will play this with me. It is going to take me a long time to fully explore each army and learn different tactics. In my last game I sent the cavalry up the right flank, even though I had no unit cards, because the deck was getting low and I knew they'd show up soon. Wasting someone who can't retreat is very satisfying. I'd love to have a steampunk army.
I could play this game five times in a row.
Update: traded, but probably shouldn't have. Because this took two hours to play and there were lengthy errata, it just sat on my shelf, whispering "two hours, two hours" until I traded it (by mistake) for $25 of netrunner boosters. Bummer.
It's nine years later, and my 11-year-old has moved out, and the 8-year-old has just informed us, using his Aspergian logic, that he refuses to do anything that won't benefit him personally.
I can't help but think that if I had held onto Manoeuvre, things might have turned out differently. Oh, and I gave Nexus Ops to my brother, who let his kids destroy it.
I feel like trading that game sent us into an alternate time line.
