I came to post this as well. Ninja'd.
So, let's talk about what is in it. I was really excited to see what they did to the game since the models and concept were awesome with a helping of nifty sauce.
I see they still maintain some of the old mechanics that kept me from really getting into the game as it is just too fiddly and clunky for what you get. Gameplay is in desperate need of some streamlining. It is reaching ridiculous levels of dice and they haven't even really added the chrome yet. You might as well just use a chart at that point since you are really flattening out the probability curve with so many dice. Plus, they are insisting on Custom dice when you are rolling 20+ dice at a time?
Of course, that is just MY tastes and I know some people just like rolling tons of dice. I do too, but when they get past a handful it is too many!
I also still hate the Alternate Activation and turn sequence of this game. Blech.
However, the models and the ideas are still interesting and tempt me. I have played tons of crappy games with great backstory, so why stop now!
