There are about ten errors that I found, which I am not going to post here because I think it's better if you find them yourself. Really. About half of the errors are simply units moving places they can't because there's an enemy unit there already, or the sample "forgetting" that a particular unit in a given space moved out and a new one moved in. There are a few rules errors, though. <BR/><BR/>What I was doing was running through the sample, then reading the relevant rule when I came across something I wasn't expecting. I found this to be a pretty good way for me to pick up the new rules, although I still will need to run through the rulebook.<BR/><BR/>Like all CDGs, this one will require a certain amount of time learning the subtleties of the decks. I vaguely remember feeling this overwhelmed when I first saw Paths, but several dozen playings of that particular title eventually got me to the point where I knew the rules pretty well (except for all of those damned NE exceptions for everything).Dughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827175240352968894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13530609.post-82239960760360977742008-10-21T11:43:00.000-07:002008-10-21T11:43:00.000-07:00Doug, if I make it to WBC-West (which, if it's in ...Doug, if I make it to WBC-West (which, if it's in late spring is likely) then I've got dibs playing this against you.<BR/><BR/>Eastern front WWI is just fascinating the hell out of me these days.
