"My only complaint is that some of the modifiers to combat resolution seem to be more work than the impact they have on the actual combat. And the dice seem to hate me!"

"A very solid and fun rule system. Main main problem comes down to speed of play...I would suggest changing the tactics selection to reduce the number of choices a player has."

"Rommel occupies a strange space between tactical and not-quite-operational. I do wish it would pick a lane rather than trying to serve two scales."

"A solid if unspectacular system that ends up playing like a glorified board game--which is fine if that's what you're looking for but disappointing if you are looking for a free-flowing miniatures-oriented experience."
