    This is a FANTASTIC board game conversion to PC. It is very well done, with a professional user interface and a detailed and comprehensive rule book. I sure hope the developer(s) add more games in the board game series this game is emulating. Highly recommended for all the grognards!

    Some fairly unintuitive battle results. 3 units, full strength, with in formation bonus. I surround an enemy unit, not-reinforced, with less strength than each of my units, on 3 sides and attack at once. And it's my 3 units that break. I understand that chance is a thing, but this is just silly.
