Cool review...(rephrased original comment for tone)<br /><br />Cool review! I've run into discussion of the various Spartan Games systems a few times (Dystopian Wars most recently just a few weeks ago). <br /><br />I find myself interested in the conceptual background and rules, but really struggling with the models and detailed background. <br /><br />There seems to be a whole heck of a lot of options, from rockets to big and little planes to boarding, without too crazy-complex a ruleset. I like that. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the rules, should you decide to post on such things. Plus the concept of steampunk - zeppelins, autogyros, walkers, etc. is a sure-fire hit.<br /><br />On the other hand, I struggle to get into the models. The Prussians look quite good, but everything else just seems either chunky or just weird (e.g. Japan's fleet mostly appears to be floating train cars - choo choo! Sad, because the Japanese flying carrier-thing and battleship are actually pretty nice). Barring the question of "where do they keep all the parts for the planes on there", of course.<br /><br />The details of the background are also decidedly uncompelling from what I've seen. There are factions, they have SCIENCE!, they fight. Hard to identify with.<br /><br />Thus, my dilemma. I'm interested to hear any further thoughts you might have.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857097354618541807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935408333977671125.post-30181350951295167412011-01-22T16:04:26.683-06:002011-01-22T16:04:26.683-06:00Hi Max,
