Really cool tactical game, not just for board game fans. I know none of the board games nor do i play board games and this goes very well as a game. Once the relatively short tutorial is done you are ready to go and have fun.

Since you are rolling 1 to 2 dices for most actions, it's luck based, but you can thankfully mostly counter that via leaders, equipment and troop concentrations.

However, the big downside is the lost AI. The decisions it does are in best case ok, but mostly bad to horrible. It also seems like the AI doesn't even know its objectives, in most cases you can't really lose. That may fits the Russians in the Enemy at the Gates battlepack i bought but it takes the challenge and with that a lot of the fun. There are sliders to give you disadvantage, but in the end you want a tactical fight, right? Maybe it's better in other scenarios.

Hopefully that gets patched in the future. But besides that AI problems it's still a really fun system to play.
