OMG! OMG! It is massive and it is awesome. My only
problems with it are:
1.
No Instructions.
The book talks about web ones, however they are not up yet.
2.
Where the hell to
store it. It is massive and will take up more room when the models are built.
3.
I am unable to
play it with others until the 21st at the earliest. Noooooo! Well
there is a single player mode at least.
I am currently busy reading the rule book at the
moment and I might test the game in sole play tomorrow if I have the time.
