I hope the game plays faster than it looks like when reading the rules. I think some elements could have been made more simple. But I definitely like the combat card system.

The overwhelming majority of the FFG games I own are for multiple players.  As others have said, sometimes it's a pain in the butt to get a group together to play, say TI:3. 

I'm thrilled this is a 2 player game and, quite frankly, I don't see how or why it would make sense to make it more than two players.  It's like 4 player War of the Ring.  Why bother?

Better to beg for forgiveness than ask permission, sometimes, Haslo.  :p

I think abraxus needs to take a chill pill.  There are PLENTY of games out there for more than twoplayers.  If twoplayer games aren't your thing you can pickup one of those titles instead.  Keep in mind not everyone can get a group of 4-5 players together on the spot all the time.

Awesome. The game looks really good and the rules are not too bad, I think there is going to be really great tension as the back and forth mechanisc in initative and battle allows some suprise moves.

@abraxus_smith: What are you talking about? You mean non-2-players games like Battlestar Galactica, Arkham Horror, Starcraft, World of Warcraft, Talisman, Cosmic Encounter, Chaos in the Old World ect.?

Been waiting for this. Of course, even if they release it next week, I will have too wait at least another 3 weeks for the Australian release, then another couple of weeks for my retailer's supplier to stop messing him around and send it to him. At least the new job means I'll be able to afford it.

 Please stop making only 2 player games.  

Good luck Haslo; some of us don't have wives to convince. Now if I can only convince Tabby to leave my game alone...

Yay :D Printing as we speak! The printer ink salesmen rejoice :P

Now why oh why did I just buy this other game? Now I have to convince my wife that this one here is the most awesome game ever and I have to have it within the first week! How will I manage to do that?? :((

Not an official answer, Propbuddha, but I believe the activated flying units would be prohibited from becoming involved in a battle that's started by an order, because they'd be considered to be ordered by that attack order, and it's illegal (save in rare exceptions spelled out on a handful of orders) to order units that are activated.

And when the rules go up, the game is soon to follow. I predict it will be available within the next week...!

Can flying units move to join a battle if they are in an activated area?
