  • Summary:
    • They found the theme dry / hard to get excited about.  (Personally it seems to me like it should be marketed as being Operation Barbarossa but in medieval times.)
    • They found it was very easy to make mistakes that would totally ruin your chances of success.  (But if it's equally easy for both sides to make such mistakes, presumably you could recover if the other side made a mistake later?)
    • They found it was a very front-loaded planning experience, meaning you had to put a lot of effort into planning things before you even got started with your campaign for the season.  (This reminds me of defending in Combat Mission, where your largest opportunity to affect the game is in the setup phase, and if you mess that up you can be in a totally hopeless position before things even get started.)
    • They didn't like the box art.  (IMO they spent a ridiculous amount of time talking about this.)
