It's interesting, and I'm looking forward to playing a few games against real people, but I do wonder how long it will last.
It seems like the game can end very suddenly if one player makes a mistake, without their opponent having to actually do very much. It might get frustrating running out of certain action cards and feeling like you're just watching your opponent without being able to react.
It also seems like the same few strategies will be used every game. I can't see the game going on long enough for an Imperial victory by dint of holding on long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
Has anyone else got / played this game yet? How have you found it? Do you find it heavily tilted towards one side or the other?
As I say, I haven't yet played this against a real person, so I hope it will be as exciting as it looked! It does have quite an epic feel to it anyway...
