I'm a hobby board gamer with about 500 games, including wargames and several tabletop miniatures games, such as Infinity and Frostgrave.This is a very fun WW2 miniatures tabletop wargame that's easier to get going with than I thought it might be.Although the rulebook is about 120 pages long, the core rules are covered in just eight pages and are very clear. After reading the core rules, I was able to put out some units and start playing.One gripe I have with the rules is that the rulebook is A5-sized and uses a small font that I find a bit difficult to read - my eyesight isn't what it used to be!I like that a QuickStart leaflet is included, which duplicates the core rules from the rulebook using a much larger font.You do need a large table - a full-sized game is 6 foot by 4 foot. You also need to assemble the miniatures and, ideally, paint them.I love that the miniatures are 1:100 (15mm) scale - this small miniature size allows me to fit a lot of battlefield on my table.I've scored this starter set five stars because I think you get a lot for your money, and it's a fun game. There's lots to explore just with this core set, but it's also a fairly cheap way to see how much you like the system before investing further.

This is one hell of a game and its very hard and in depth but its been used for making up our own games with until our family are old enough to understand and it so much fun.
