What is with these recent games, no ai but big prices...70 on sale regular 80.  Where is the market?  Not a chance for me.

What a stupid price.

You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

And two people have to pay that outrageous price for a game to be played.

Looking at it, I'm not sure why anyone would pay for it.  Tiller games can be purchased for 2/3 the price, and they have a rudimentary AI.  Tabletop simulator/Vassal would allow someone with a Gettysburg board game (and there are numerous such games) to play it with a  friend.  I'm not sure what this game does that is worth that price?

Considering neither game from this publisher has a single review posted, I would have to guess not many...

Apart from the gross overpricing...it looks like it could be an interesting game at the right price-point.  What would that be?  $9.99, $14.99...more/less?

Given 1) you need 2 copies to play, 2) similar board games retail for around $80, and 3) Unlike board games, this game does not have to re-coup the cost of printed material/parts, I would estimate that no more than $15/copy would be about right.  Possibly less.

LOL...thanks, I missed the no-AI in the game feature....I'm revising my price-point to under one dollar.

$15 for a two-pack seems pretty reasonable to me, buy once and send a copy to a friend.
I was waiting for a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.
