Age of War, which we have always been fond of, is actually a better combat simulator than I first gave it credit for.
I don’t feel my old review (which you can read here if you really want to) did the game justice as, playing last night, I had a revelation. It positions itself as “a game of conquest in feudal Japan”, but in reality, it is a push your luck dice game based around Japanese warfare. Four months ago, when I started writing on this blog, I reviewed Age of War by Fantasy Flight.
