I wanted to figure things out by playing, so I intentionally didn't read about the mechanics - I agree, it's easy to catch on. Not having read the mechanics, some things that were not so obvious:
- Characters' health and damage. I thought the numbers below the characters were their health, then realized it's the number of individuals (soldiers?) within the group. So I guess the total health and damage are products of that and the health/damage numbers on the character cards? Not sure..
- The attack range of characters with ranged abilities. Maybe it's on the cards and I just didn't notice.
Anyway, great job with the solo effort!
