it is a very hard board to see where you get your bonuses, even though there are plenty of them. it is a game set up for a long battle and a good plan. it takes some skill to win this one.
solid with, twists to keep you awake liked it and will probably look at it again, man just so many ways to go at the board. going up on the likey meter
I liked it. I was fooled by proximity and lack of contact and made some rookie mistakes. i had some color issues knowing where the bonuses were. ovearll very enjoyable board.
probably my favorite board, it involves a time period map with good historical understanding and an appreciation of what it must take to truely hold europe. you had better have your head on a swivel or things can go off the rails in a hurry. definitely my favorite.
maybe i dont understand the way the country lays out. holding the eastern half of the board nets you nothing, while two islands get you a bonus made no sense to me.
