Mind-blowing and highly recommended!   
Impossible you can't find time to play this game.

Of course, we will tweak it to suit ourselves, and some of us will ruin it, but there it is.

Great review!

These rules are very interesting in their simplicity - the author posts on LAF, and has now produced variants for many different eras.

Thanks for the write down of the review!

Interesting but not for me. I have some large collections and our group enjoys bigger battles with more chrome and length than that.

Least it's cheap for those who want to try it.

Nothing wrong with a big fantasy game - I've played plenty of them myself.  Just don't always have the time, space and energy, not to mention the large player group.  Being in the Army, I also appreciate historicity for it's sake, and appreciate fantasy gaming for its sake.  Don't like to mix the two, however.

Agreed! I love a massed battle but it takes forever to set up, and it's hard to find a game that conveys the scale of the conflict while also being quick enough to play in an afternoon- This game certainly looks very interesting, thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Good point - there's a time and a place - and resources - for everything.  I can play 3-4 games of this between putting my kids to bed and going to bed.  Can't do that with most of my miniatures games.
