I have bought the boardgame a couple of weeks ago and like it very much. Played several battles with a friend and we had a lot of fun. Registered for playing online too and this is great when you are lacking a human opponent to play the boardgame. I think the replay value will be great as every battle will unfold in another way due to the command cards one will get.
I own and play memoir 44. It's fast and fun, very simple and a great way to introduce friends to wargaming. I graduated a buddy of mine to axis and allies and soon we will be doing my beloved hexes...
