  • With only 4 rounds both sides have to really push on and attack. 
  • A back and forth battle that saw the victor emerge in the final actions of the game. Seemed very well balanced and was a treat to play!
  • It always seems like it's going to be a total rampage for one side or the other after two rounds, and then somehow fortune swings the other way and it ends up coming down to a last-round, last-turn Assault on one of the objectives (usually the smaller building in the woods).
