It's an aquired taste. Much more finnicky than warhammer.

How so?

You almost need a protracter to play.
Lots of little cardboard markers moving all over the place too. A game can be destroyed by a gentle breeze!

Why do you need a protractor?

There are a lot of nitpicky angles and for each ship you use circles divided into 4 equal quarters. It's a part exaggeration, exasperation, and fact.

It it quite tedious then?

It's good, but like I said its definately an aquired taste. Accidently poking you ship with a measuring stick=game ruined. I guess just go in with the attitude of always having a friendly game.

While the accidental touching of a ship moves it from its bearing and adjusts every angle dealing with that ship, every time I've seen the game played, those are simply brushed off as part of the game.

I mean, even when simply moving the ship, you are prone to adjusting the ship's angle by a matter of a degree or two, its bound to happen.

So as stated above, just keep it chill and always look for the friendly game.
