A 4.47 Rating link Now that is bad. Now this 10.0 rating is a tad suspect. A fantastic game. More tactical than Warhammer Fantasy Battle (and more fun); even better than Space Hulk and surpasses even the mighty Dreadfleet.But, what I like the most is that this game has incredible resource management -simply put, the wealthiest player has the advantage just like leaders in history/real life. Therefore, I can now beat 'peasant-gamers' (who can't afford an army like mine) all the time. Yessssss, result !!!!!! Wow!!! Games Workshop you have delivered again (we love you GW). I think the comment about Dreadfleet is what makes it suspect. So that 4.47 Rating should even be lower. |

I suspect sarcasm is involved. |

Don't know what GW was thinking. If they want to compete in the fantasy skirmish game they have to come up with something better than established games like Warmachine or malifaux. Best comment I saw was on Warseer – seems like a game written by 10 year olds who want to dump all the models they own on the table and start pushing them around. 10 year olds with parent's money are probably the target audience anyway. |

It is all sarcasm! The 10 rating is as much a part of sarcasm as saying the poster believes players with the most disposable income will have an advantage…. implying "peasants" are not a GW target audience. Will an isolated 10 rating really have more tangible value than playing it's part in sarcastic effect? |

Yup, a tiny itty bitty teensy weensy bit of sarcasm there. |

That review is definitely trolling.

Looks like the 1 ratings are the real troll comments.Even if the rules are crap . The figures and anything else added equate to a 1 ?.
Really.
90% of the people who buy it probably don't even know BBG exists. Definitely troll user rating is 2 to 5 year olds. LoL |

The comments are interesting. I wonder about this one though: 'And then they have the audacity to admit the "funny" rules are to embarrass older players and keep them from playing in public? It is just the worst possible release laced with insult…they burned the base for no reason. Very sad.' If true, amazingly stupid move on GW's part. |
