I've been wargamming for 15 years, from Risk to Axis and Allies, from Squad Leader to Rise and Decline of the Third Reich. So perhaps my opinion is a little "Hard Core".
But, Once you learn the basic mechanics and controls of the game, I'm sure you'll find it no more complex than a good game of Stratego. Yet were this game realy wins out is the amount of information the player is able to obtain about just how well his forces are performing in the heat of battle. The depth of individuality between the units is remarkable and very useful once you get the practice. It is indeed worth the pesos. the more patient you are with it the more you will enjoy it. You have my word on that.
